Morality

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
Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.

2.
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

3.
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

4.
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

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

6.
To set up as a standard of public morality a notion which can neither be defined nor conceived is to open the door to every kind of tyranny.
Weil, Simone

7.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

8.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

9.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

10.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

11.
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Huxley, Aldous

12.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

13.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
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

17.
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

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

23.
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

24.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

25.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

26.
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

27.
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

28.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel

29.
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

30.
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

31.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

32.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
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

34.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

35.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

36.
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

37.
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
Lawrence, D. H.

38.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

39.
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

40.
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

41.
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.

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

43.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

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

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

47.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

48.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

49.
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

50.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas
