"Once we see the mud of our moral corruption, we are faced with the challenge of re-forming our habits from vice into virtue, a process that immediately confronts us with the need for grace." - Rebecca DeYoung

"The difference between virtue and vice is this: anybody can learn a vice; all you have to do is to go into neutral, slide along with the way stuff is going, and before too long, certain habits of life will have you in their grip. You don’t have to think about it, you don’t have to try; it’ll happen. But virtue, you have to think about...you have to make a decision to be this sort of person now… Virtue is what happens when you make a thousand small decisions consciously thought out so that on the thousand and first occasion, you will unhesitatingly and instinctively - by second nature - act virtuously. Nobody does it by nature. Some people, thank God, do it by second nature." - N.T. Wright
