One thing that struck me early is that you don’t put into a photograph what’s going to come out. Or, vice versa, what comes out is not what you put in.
What I liked so much while shooting [a movie], I might not like anymore when I see it or vice versa. The two are connected but not on a causal level.
One of my last few vices is coffee, but with a spot of almond or soymilk, it's never tasted better!
Think no vice so small that you may commit it, and no virtue so small that you may over look it.
As a stick, when once it is dry and stiff you may break it, but you can never bend it into a straighter posture; so doth the man become incorrigible who is settled and stiffened into vice.
I was kind of scared at first to do that [vice-over] because when you're on set, a lot of the things going on around you - the environment and playing off other actors - and that's what makes it easier and helps you to be in your character. So, realizing you're not going to have that and you're going to be secluded in this booth, it's like, "How am I going to be a character when I'm just in these walls?"
We must define flattery and praise; they are distinct. Trajan was encouraged to virtue by the panegyric Pliny; Tiberius became obstinate in vice from the flattery of his senators.
It is the rate of investment which governs the rate of saving, and not vice versa.
Who does not sufficiently hate vice, does not sufficiently love virtue.
Content thyself to be obscurely good. When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway, the post of honoris a private station.
I'm the only American alive or dead who presided unhappily over the removal of a vice president and a president.
Here am I: at one stroke incestuous, adulteress, sodomite, and all that in a girl who only lost her maidenhead today! What progress, my friends with what rapidity I advance along the thorny road of vice!
Indulge me, John. Cynicism and foul language are the only vices I'm presently capable of. Everything else takes energy or money.
I would guess it didn't exactly represent a profile in courage for the vice president to wander over there to the F-word network for a sit down with Brit Hume. I mean, that's a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain't it?
Man is my brother, and I am nearer related to him through his vices than I am through his virtue.
Minor vices lead to major ones, but minor virtues stay put.
I can't expect others to share my virtues. It's good enough for me if they share my vices.
Faults of the head are punished in this world, those of the heart in another; but as most of our vices are compound, so also is their punishment.
Society takes upon itself the right to inflict appalling punishment on the individual, but it also has the supreme vice of shallowness, and fails to realize what it has done. When the man's punishment is over, it leaves him to himself; that is to say, it abandons him at the very moment when its highest duty towards him begins.
A thirst for gold, The beggar's vice, which can but overwhelm The meanest hearts.
