14    Life, VII    |        offers two roads: one of virtue and observance, the other
15    Life, VII    |       to be an example of every virtue to others, so disfigure
16    Life, VII    |     souls who are not strong in virtue; for they have so many people,

21    Life, XIII   |       we become very perfect in virtue. And there are not many

26    Life, XIII   |         thinking this an act of virtue, of perfection, and of a

30    Life, XIV    |         had never possessed any virtue at all. This is the season
31    Life, XVII   |   itself to be in possession of virtue; though it sees most clearly

39    Life, XXXI   |        which after all may be a virtue. He who finds fault is doing
