Chastity with the reins of reason bridleth the rage of lust.

ANONYMOUS

I'm gonna seek this thing like a buried treasure
Like Columbus sailing over the sea
Until I discover, baby, the land beyond expertise and chastity

JOHN CALE

---

My poor belated chastity fell foul
Of grown up games

ELVIS COSTELLO

---

How profitable to the spiritual interests of man is this virtue of chastity! Chastity delivers him from a shameful passion which agitates and tyrannises over him unceasingly, which devours and consumes him by that thirst for impure and criminal pleasures and enjoyments which he can neither quench nor satisfy, even by giving it everything it asks of him.

MARIE LATASTE

---

Chastity is the cement of civilization and progress. Without it there is no stability in society, and without it one cannot attain the Science of Life.

MARY BAKER EDDY

---

A beautiful and chaste woman is the perfect workmanship of God, and the true glory of angels, the rare miracle of earth, and the sole wonder of the world.

GEORGE HERMES

---

Much of the modern resistance to chastity comes from men's belief that they "own" their bodies -- those vast and perilous estates, pulsating with the energy that made the worlds, in which they find themselves without their consent and from which they are ejected at the pleasure of Another!

C. S. LEWIS

---

Release yourself upon me
Free the hounds of chastity

K.D. LANG

'Tis Chastity, my brother, Chastity: She that has that, is clad in complete steel.

JOHN MILTON

---

An untempted woman cannot boast of her chastity.

MICHEL DE MONTAIGNE

---

Give me chastity and continence, but not just yet!

AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO

---

Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc. In a word, God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.

G. K. CHESTERTON

---

There is no chastity so agreeable to God as a faithful marriage.

IZARN

---

Of all the sexual aberrations, chastity is the strangest.

ANATOLE FRANCE

---

I call not that virginity a virtue, which resideth only in the bodies integrity; much less if it be with a purpose of perpetually keeping it: for then it is a most inhumane vice. - But I call that Virginity a virtue which is willing and desirous to yield itself upon honest and lawful terms, when just reason requireth; and until then, is kept with a modest chastity of body and mind.

JOHN DONNE

---

Nothing makes a woman more esteemed by the opposite sex than chastity; whether it be that we always prize those most who are hardest to come at, or that nothing besides chastity, with its collateral attendants, truth, fidelity, and constancy, gives a man a property in the person he loves, and consequently endears her to him above all things.

JOSEPH ADDISON

---

It must be hard sometimes
To stand behind your chastity
And I wish that I could be the one
But it's not me, I'll never set you free

GOOD RIDDANCE

---

Chastity is oftener owing to diffidence and shame, than to fortitude of reason or virtue.

NORMAN MACDONALD

---

So dear to Heaven is saintly chastity,
That, when a soul is found sincerely so,
A thousand liveried angels lacky her,
Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt,
And in clear dream, and solemn vision,
Tell her of things that no gross ear can hear,
Till oft converse with heav'nly habitants
Begin to cast a beam on th' outward shape,
The unpolluted temple of the mind,
And turns it by degrees to the soul's essence,
Till all be made immortal: but when lust,
By unchaste looks, loose gestures, and foul talk,
But most by lewd and lavish act of sin,
Lets in defilement to the inward parts,
The soul grows clotted by contagion,
Imbodies, and imbrutes, till she quite lose
The divine property of her first being.

JOHN MILTON

---

Many a girl will fight for her honor until the man is just about ready to give up.
