Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

2.
When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.
Lao-Tzu

3.
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank

4.
There are few things more disturbing than to find, in somebody we detest, a moral quality which seems to us demonstrably superior to anything we ourselves possess. It augurs not merely an unfairness on the part of creation, but a lack of artistic judgment. Sainthood is acceptable only in saints.
Johnson, Pamela Hansford

5.
I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.
Seneca

6.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
Henry David Thoreau

7.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

8.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

9.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

10.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

11.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

12.
When we start deceiving ourselves into thinking not that we want something or need something, not that it is a pragmatic necessity for us to have it, but that it is a moral imperative that we have it, then is when we join the fashionable madmen, and then is when the thin whine of hysteria is heard in the land, and then is when we are in bad trouble.
Didion, Joan

13.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

14.
The greater part of humanity is too much harassed and fatigued by the struggle with want, to rally itself for a new and sterner struggle with error.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

15.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

16.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

17.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

18.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

19.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel

20.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

21.
Scandal is great entertainment because it allows people to feel contempt, a moral emotion that gives feeling of moral superiority while asking nothing in return.
Jonathan Haidt

22.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

23.
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.

24.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

25.
It is almost systematically to constitute a natural moral law. Nature has no principles. She furnishes us with no reason to believe that human life is to be respected. Nature, in her indifference, makes no difference between right and wrong.
France, Anatole

26.
Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Aristotle

27.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

28.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

29.
The aim of morality is to give people a standard of action and a motive to work by which, they will not intensify each person's selfishness, but raise them up above it.
Sharpe, Cecil J.

30.
Morals are in all countries the result of legislation and government; they are not African or Asian or European: they are good or bad.
Diderot, Denis

31.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

33.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

34.
Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.
King Jr. Martin Luther

35.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

36.
It is safe to say that no other superstition is so detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people, as the superstition of Morality.
Goldman, Emma

37.
Mercy to living beings, self restraint, truth, honesty, chastity and contentment, right faith and knowledge, and austerity are but the entourage of morality.
Sila-Prabhrita

38.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

39.
We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one that we preach, but do not practice, and another that we practice, but seldom preach.
Russell, Bertrand

40.
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson

41.
However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences. It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.
Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

42.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

43.
The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others.
Bertrand Russell

44.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

45.
Let the public mind become corrupt, and all efforts to secure property, liberty, or life by the force of laws written on paper will be as vain as putting up a sign in an apple orchard to exclude canker worms.
Mann, Horace

46.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

47.
Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning -- an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

48.
Nobody seriously questions the principle that it is the function of mass culture to maintain public morale, and certainly nobody in the mass audience objects to having his morale maintained.
Warshow, Robert

49.
Just as there's garbage that pollutes the Potomac river, there is garbage polluting our culture. We need an Environmental Protection Agency to clean it up.
Buchanan, Patrick

50.
Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Crowley, Aleister
