...the states of virtue by which the soul possesses truth by way of affirmation or denial are five in number, i.e., art, scientific knowledge, practical wisdom, philosophic wisdom, intuitive reason; we do not include judgment and opinion because in these we may be mistaken.

Love has no other desire but to fulfil itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.

Fate often saves an undoomed warrior when his courage endures.

Compassion is nonjudgmental empathy for one's fellow creatures. - Ultima V

Human is to have compassion on the unhappy.

Honesty is scrupulous respect for truth - the willingness never to deceive oneself or another. - Ultima V

I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is the best policy.

Honor is the courage to stand for the truth, against any odds. - Ultima V

Nothing is less worthy of honor than an old man who has no other evidence of having lived long except his age

Humility is perceiving one's place in the world, not according to one's own accomplishments, but according to the intrinsic value of all individuals. - Ultima V

The greatest friend of Truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility

Justice is the devotion to truth, tempered by love. - Ultima V

There is one universal law....That law is justice. Justice forms the cornerstone of each nation's law.

Justice without force is impotent; force without justice is tyranny.

Sacrifice is the courage to give of oneself in the name of love. - Ultima V

The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Spirituality is the concern with one's inner being and how one deals with truth, love, and courage. - Ultima V

The natural inheritance of everyone who is capable of spiritual life is an unsubdued forest where the wolf howls and the obscene bird of night chatters.

Valor is the courage to take actions in support of one's convictions. - Ultima V

It is a brave act of valour to contemn death; but where life is more terrible than death, it is then the truest valour to dare to live.
