Virtue itself turns vice, being misapplied, And vice sometime's by action dignified
The difference is too nice - Where ends the virtue or begins the vice.
If a man has no vices, he is in great danger of making vices about his virtues, and there's a spectacle.
A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue.
Well, whiles I am a beggar, I will rail, And say there is no sin but to be rich; And being rich, my virtue then shall be To say there is no vice but beggary
In the midst of vice we are in virtue, and vice versa.
For that which all men then did virtue call, Is now called vice; and that which vice was hight, Is now hight virtue, and so used of all: Right now is wrong, and wrong that was is right
They that endeavour to abolish vice destroy also virtue, for contraries, though they destroy one another, are yet the life of one another.
