Well this is definitely from Catholicism and the Seven Heavenly Virtues. These are all opposed by the Seven Deadly Sins, hence the title here Sins & Virtues.

While erring on the side if caution, I will say looking these up and reading about them is definitely something you can and should do as they themselves aren't really about religion but more about a belief system tied to the religion.

    I kinda meant the rebuttals for each of the deadly sins and heavenly virtues. I was raised catholic I know of them and where to know more. I'm mainly interested in the last panel of each of these. I was almost certain some of them were either from or based on hedonistic texts but I was curious to see if there was more than the short quips

    Thank you cuz i was wondering the exact same thing lol

    ** edit **

    Ok I went diving. Looks like someone just meme'd these in r/wiseposting like a year ago, which itself was inspired by a similar series of memes but about the 7 deadly sins + some others. They have much longer last panels. They're just sort of general philosophical points about the sins/virtues that people have come up with but in meme form it seems.

    Temperance = you will live a middle life, buried in a middle grave.

    Patience = tides will rise regardless, fight or be swept away.

    Humility = know your worth, lest others set it for you.

    Charity = true gifts are free from expectation.

    Diligence = work is sacrifice, today is for more than tomorrow's gain.

    Chastity = joy shared is joy multiplied, it's lack does not create value

    Kindness = you will burn from both ends until naught is left but memory
