A quotation from Samuel Butler
The limits of vice and virtue are wretchedly ill-defined. Half the vices that the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence.
Samuel Butler (1835-1902) English novelist, satirist, scholar
The Way of All Flesh, ch. 52 (Pryer) (1903)More about this quote: wist.info/butler-samuel/787/
