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
Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
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

2.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

3.
In Los Angeles, it's like they jog for two hours a day and then they think they're morally right. That's when you want to choke people, you know?
Neeson, Liam

4.
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
Lawrence, D. H.

5.
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

6.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

7.
The person is always happy who is in the presence of something they cannot know in full. A person as advanced far in the study of morals who has mastered the difference between pride and vanity.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

8.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

9.
Taste is not only a part and index of morality, it is the only morality. The first, and last, and closest trial question to any living creature is "What do you like?" Tell me what you like, I'll tell you what you are.
John Ruskin

10.
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

11.
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

12.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

13.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

14.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

15.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

16.
The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.
Shuman, Rick

17.
We become moral when we are unhappy.
Proust, Marcel

18.
I cannot believe that this country cannot come together around some values what these kids need is a moral life... the issue is not ideas, it is conduct. The real question is how we reach these young people morally, and what do we bring to them.
Coles, Robert

19.
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

20.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

21.
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy

22.
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Huxley, Aldous

23.
He that has not religion to govern his morality, is not a dram better than my mastiff-dog; so long as you stroke him, and please him, and do not pinch him, he will play with you as finely as may be, he is a very good moral mastiff; but if you hurt him, he will fly in your face, and tear out your throat.
Selden, John

24.
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

25.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

26.
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

27.
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

28.
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson

29.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

30.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

31.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

32.
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Rand, Ayn

33.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

34.
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

35.
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.

36.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

37.
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

38.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. So aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
Thoreau, Henry David

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

40.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

41.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

42.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

43.
Morality is always the product of terror; its chains and strait-waistcoats are fashioned by those who dare not trust others, because they dare not trust themselves, to walk in liberty.
Huxley, Aldous

44.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

45.
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

46.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

47.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

48.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

49.
We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.
Bertrand Russell

50.
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
