Thoughts on the virtue of holy purity

Complete chastity is not only the rejection of impurity; it is the ordering of the soul toward that which is marvelous.

Chastity, when possessed entirely, is the most easy and suave virtue to practice, yet it is the most difficult, the most unbearable to keep when possessed in half measure.

Two hundred thousand lukewarm men cannot accomplish what one pure soul can.

Purity resides within nobility as a rose in a crystal vase.

Purity must present itself aggressively, proudly, and tread on impurity.  If not, it makes an agreement to be a nice neighbor to impurity, and impurity wins the battle.

A staff flowers in the hands of pure men, and they are more terrible than atomic weapons.
