Best Quotes about Morality

1.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

2.
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

3.
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

4.
The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil.
Bataille, Georges

5.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

6.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

7.
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

8.
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

9.
History is a voice forever sounding across the centuries the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity.
James A. Forude

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

12.
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

13.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

14.
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

15.
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

16.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

17.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel

18.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

19.
Every man has his moral backside which he refrains from showing unless he has to and keeps covered as long as possible with the trousers of decorum.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

20.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

21.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

22.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

23.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

24.
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

25.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

26.
Truth is the secret of eloquence and of virtue, the basis of moral authority; it is the highest summit of art and life.
Henri-FrÚdÚric Amiel

27.
A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.
Socrates

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

29.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

30.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

31.
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

32.
A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg

33.
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

34.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

35.
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

36.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

37.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

38.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

39.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

40.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

41.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

42.
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

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

48.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

49.
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

50.
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
