Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
~ Buddha

Virtue. Hm.
I don't know that we pursue virtue (or wisdom for that matter) as much as people used to. It's almost like that is beyond us by the time we are able to understand what it is. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I even hope I am wrong.
Apparently, the white lily can represent virtue.
Whereas the Tomlin, Lily often represents humor.
