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

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

9.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

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

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

15.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

16.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

17.
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
Lawrence, D. H.

18.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

19.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

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.
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

22.
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

23.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

24.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

25.
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

26.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
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

32.
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

33.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

34.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

35.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

36.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

37.
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

38.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

39.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

40.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

Warshow, Robert

43.
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

44.
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

45.
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.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

49.
Unfortunately, moral beauty in art -- like physical beauty in a person -- is extremely perishable. It is nowhere so durable as artistic or intellectual beauty. Moral beauty has a tendency to decay very rapidly into sententiousness or untimeliness.
Sontag, Susan

50.
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
