Notable quotes

“The authors of antiquity are agreed that this discipline had succeeded in producing the highest examples not only of the purest chastity and sentiment, but also a simplicity of manners, a delicacy, and a taste for serious pursuits which was unparalleled.”
— Annie Besant, The Ancient Wisdom, p. 22 (1897)
“Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.”
— Jesus Christ in the Beatitudes, (Gospel of Matthew 5:8)
“The chaste person maintains the integrity of the powers of life and love placed in him. This integrity ensures the unity of the person; it is opposed to any behavior that would impair it. It tolerates neither a double life nor duplicity in speech.”
— Paragraph 2338
“Chastity represents an eminently personal task; it also involves a cultural effort, for there is "an interdependence between personal betterment and the improvement of society." Chastity presupposes respect for the rights of the person, in particular the right to receive information and an education that respect the moral and spiritual dimensions of human life.”
— Paragraph 2344
“Charity is the form of all the virtues. Under its influence, chastity appears as a school of the gift of the person. Self-mastery is ordered to the gift of self. Chastity leads him who practices it to become a witness to his neighbor of God's fidelity and loving kindness.”
— Paragraph 2346
“That chastity of honour which felt a stain like a wound.”
— Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France.
