Famous quotes containing the words white and/or guard:

    The chief assertion of religious morality is that white is a colour. Virtue is not the absence of vices or the avoidance of moral dangers; virtue is a vivid and separate thing, like pain or a particular smell.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    One should never intend to do harm to others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to him.
    Chinese proverb.
