 13    1|            lost in a mist of words, virtue, in forms, and knowledge
 14    1|             state in which a single virtue took root, it would have

 23    2|          the expense of every solid virtue.~ ~ Though, to reason on
 24    2|             rigid frown of insulted virtue effaces the smile of complacency
 25    2|              who, in his ardour for virtue, would banish all the soft
 26    2|          corner stones of all human virtue, should be cultivated with

 31    2|     enjoyment. The man who had some virtue whilst he was struggling
 32    2|         saps the very foundation of virtue? Why must the female mind
 33    2|            the dignified pursuit of virtue and knowledge raise the
 34    2|            but not an impediment to virtue.~ ~ If Dr. Gregory confined
 35    2|            wrong, it ceases to be a virtue; and, however convenient
 36    2|              and whoever sacrifices virtue, strictly so called, to
 37    2|           him for the support of my virtue, I view, with indignation,
 38    2|            Liberty is the mother of virtue, and if women be, by their
 39    2|          inferior, in abilities and virtue, to the same number of men
 40    3|           insist, that not only the virtue, but the knowledge of the
 41    3|             than their masters: but virtue is sacrificed to temporary
 42    3|     educated, the progress of human virtue and improvement in knowledge
 43    3|           respected - almost adored virtue - and yet he allowed himself
 44    3|             luxury every thing like virtue had not been worn away,
 45    3|            the despotism that kills virtue and genius in the bud, hover
 46    3|            wishes to acquire either virtue or knowledge. A blind unsettled
 47    3| impossibilities? Why do they expect virtue from a slave, from a being
 48    3|             life, and in what human virtue and dignity consist.~ ~
 49    3|             of truth and sincerity, virtue becomes a relative idea,
 50    4|            they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain. But
 51    4|              the proportion between virtue and knowledge, is more upon
 52    4|        inferior kind;~ ~ But glory, virtue, Heaven for man design'd.'~ ~
 53    4|             So the men tell us; but virtue, says reason, must be acquired
 54    4|         female understanding: - yet virtue can be built on no other
 55    4|         aphorism may be extended to virtue. It is an acquirement, and
 56    4|           The women, though without virtue, are their masters and sovereigns.'~ ~
 57    4|            but health, liberty, and virtue, are given in exchange.
 58    4|  distinction so fatal to reason and virtue.~ ~ A king is always a king -
 59    4|           middle rank contains most virtue and abilities. Men have
 60    4|       fellow-citizens, to which the virtue of his ancestors had raised
 61    4|     patience, by self-denial, or by virtue of any kind? As all his
 62    4|          his own presence, no other virtue, it seems, appeared to have
 63    4|           not men, because liberty, virtue, and humanity, were sacrificed
 64    4|       Ignorance is a frail base for virtue! Yet, that it is the condition
 65    4|        great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. Certainly the
 66    4|           expect men to be proud of virtue? And, till they are, women
 67    4|        pines in secret, the prey of virtue or prudence. I mean when
 68    4|           into the world to acquire virtue? - Can she consent to be
 69    4|       example of order, the soul of virtue, some austerity of behaviour
 70    4|          that blasts every domestic virtue, is drawn from the well-attested
 71    4|   foundation of almost every social virtue, I cannot avoid feeling
 72    4|         know the difference between virtue and vice: - and thus prepared
 73    4|            on the observance of one virtue, though the only passion
 74    4|       strange notions of honour and virtue. For, miserable beyond all
 75    4|           have too often considered virtue in a very limited sense,
 76    4|           been made the standard of virtue. Yes, virtue as well as
 77    4|            standard of virtue. Yes, virtue as well as religion, has
 78    4|            take from the dignity of virtue. Virtue, as the very word
 79    4|         from the dignity of virtue. Virtue, as the very word imports,
 80    4|           fall by apparent respect. Virtue and pleasure are not, in
 81    4|            cup; but the fruit which virtue gives, is the recompence
 82    4|             affection and permanent virtue. - Permanent virtue! alas!
 83    4|       permanent virtue. - Permanent virtue! alas! Rousseau, respectable
 84    4|         advantages. With respect to virtue, to use the word in a comprehensive
 85    4|     necessary to give vigour to the virtue and talents of the freed
 86    5|            unfair to infer that her virtue is built on narrow views
 87    5|            of this sort be termed a virtue, morality becomes vague
 88    5|      strictly deducible from truth, virtue is an affair of convention.
 89    5|         extends. For what reason or virtue can be expected from a creature
 90    5|     politeness for a quarter of the virtue that has been sacrificed
 91    5|        should only be the polish of virtue.~ ~ But, to complete the
 92    5|            want of a support to her virtue, independent of worldly
 93    5|   acquainted with the definition of virtue. But it is no less true,
 94    5|          coquetry in the service of virtue, and those of love in that
 95    5|             the foundation of their virtue, nor truth the object of
 96    5|            in a natural manner; but virtue, and a romantic kind of
 97    5|             when fear, delicacy, or virtue, restrained him, he debauched
 98    5|    desirable on its own account, if virtue, to deserve the name, must
 99    5|             taken for granted, that virtue shields us from the casualties
100    5|          contrary, the reward which virtue promises to her votaries
101    5|         supported by the reason and virtue of their fathers and brothers,
102    5|             of their native robe of virtue? Curst be the impious hand
103    5|           must they be cajoled into virtue by artful flattery and sexual
104    5|       sickly qualm! Do religion and virtue offer no stronger motives,
105    5|         that could conduce to their virtue, or your mutual satisfaction;
106    5|            can alone be obtained by virtue supported by reason. It
107    5|            narrow path of truth and virtue inclines neither to the
108    5|           to be this and that - yet virtue might apostrophize them,
109    5|     innocent freedoms, provided her virtue is secure, is both grossly
110    5|             which the heart pays to virtue, when it flashes suddenly
111    5|          paid to the last farthing. Virtue, like every thing valuable,
112    5|            carry some knowledge and virtue into another world, is the
113    5|          Woman in particular, whose virtue* is built on mutable prejudices,
114    5|           than chastity, the sexual virtue.~ ~ Indignantly have I heard
115    5|            sex affronted, and their virtue deprived of the common basis
116    5|     deprived of the common basis of virtue. A woman must know, that
117    5|       existence - the attainment of virtue.~ ~ The Baroness de Stael
118    5|          person, that excepting the virtue of chastity, for obvious
119    5|       preclude excellence in either virtue or knowledge.* The stumbling-block
120    5|           and to acquire wisdom and virtue by the exercise of their
121    5|         Perhaps it is necessary for virtue first to appear in a human
122    5|        within the reach of mortals, virtue, abstractedly, is thought
123    5|      purposes of sensibility - till virtue, arising rather from the
124    5|            enlarging the heart: but virtue must be loved as in itself
125    6|             or the severe graces of virtue, must have a lugubrious
126    6|      purified in its own fires; and virtue giving true delicacy to
127    6|             a legion of devils. Oh! virtue, thou art not an empty name!
128    7|   Considered, and Not as a~ ~Sexual Virtue.~ ~ Modesty! Sacred offspring
129    7|            infamy; for modesty is a virtue, not a quality. No, they
130    7|           was rudely brushed off; a virtue would have left some vestiges
131    7|       Modesty, is the graceful calm virtue of maturity; bashfulness,
132    7|              To render chastity the virtue from which unsophisticated
133    7|            may deserve to have this virtue ascribed to them in rather
134    7|       expect much public or private virtue, till both men and women
135    7|         modesty has proved fatal to virtue and happiness. It is, however,
136    7|            temptation?' - Thus when virtue or honour make it proper
137    7|              supposed to be a manly virtue.~ ~ In the same strain runs
138    7|             who have not sufficient virtue to relish the innocent pleasures
139    7|          now consider the wisdom or virtue of such a sacrifice, I only
140    7|             relish the epicurism of virtue - self-denial.~ ~ To take
141    7|             Perhaps, there is not a virtue that mixes so kindly with
142    7|      renders more interesting every virtue it softens, giving mild
143    7|         sacred communication, which virtue establishes between man
144    7|           anxious to cultivate each virtue, and let it take root firmly
145    7|     remember that the possession of virtue, of any denomination, is
146    8|            free from spot, not as a virtue, but to preserve their station
147    8|             had actually confounded virtue with reputation; and, I
148    8|             observances, for unless virtue, of any kind, be built on
149    8|             Opinion is the grave of virtue among the men; but its throne
150    8|           logical to infer that the virtue that rests on opinion is
151    8|         worldly, and that it is the virtue of a being to whom reason
152    8|           of the natural rewards of virtue, however, took its rise
153    8|       respectability by a return to virtue, though men preserve theirs
154    8|            for neither religion nor virtue, when they reside in the
155    8|          experience, that where the virtue of two people is nearly
156    8|         complicated; nay, sometimes virtue and its shadow are set at
157    8|             is confined to a single virtue - chastity. If the honour
158    8|      attention of woman to the real virtue of chastity; for to little
159    8|            Did women really respect virtue for its own sake, they would
160    8|        truth, extending it to every virtue. Chastity, modesty, public
161    8|            virtues, on which social virtue and happiness are built,
162    8|            still more alarming; for virtue is only a nominal distinction
163    8|         must be nurtured by private virtue, or it will resemble the
164    8|         often exists unsupported by virtue, unsupported by that sublime
165    9|   disposition before it ripens into virtue.~ ~ One class presses on
166    9|             due only to talents and virtue. Men neglect the duties
167    9|           set the wheels in motion. Virtue likewise can only be acquired
168    9|                It is vain to expect virtue from women till they are,
169    9|           blossoms of affection and virtue. Nature has wisely attached
170    9|         folly are obliged to pay to virtue and the real nature of things.~ ~
171    9|            the adventurous march of virtue in the historic page.~ ~
172    9|             strength to fortify the virtue of which they are the natural
173    9|          virtuous; and thus private virtue becoming the cement of public
174    9|          But, the private or public virtue of woman is very problematical;
175    9|          has little connection with virtue of any denomination, being
176    9|             state of society, where virtue can shew its face and ripen
177    9|         true dignity of its nature. Virtue is not to be acquired even
178    9|            of folly are levelled by virtue, similar follies will leaven
179    9|        poverty, will equally banish virtue from society, considered
180    9|             to render their private virtue a public benefit, they must
181   11|             evil? for to teach them virtue on any solid principle is
182   12|             but let more reason and virtue prevail in society, and
183   12|             venture to predict that virtue will never prevail in society
184   12|       private, and blast all public virtue.~ ~ I have already inveighed
185   12|           be allowed to found their virtue on knowledge, which is scarcely
186   12|        affection which weakness and virtue had made him cherish for
187   12|       continue to love when neither virtue nor sense give a human appearance
188   12|           proportion as men acquire virtue and delicacy, by the exertion
189   12|            on their oppressors, the virtue of men will be worm-eaten
190   13|           unsophisticated charms of virtue, and the grave respectability
191   13|         grace which is an effect of virtue, and not the motive of action,
192   13|            and would rise above the virtue of mortals, if they did
193   13|     unanimously agreed, that unless virtue be nursed by liberty, it

195   13|       beating out the solid gold of virtue, till it becomes only the
196   13|           man more respectable than virtue, wealth will be sought before
197   13|        wealth will be sought before virtue; and, whilst women's persons
