We become moral when we are unhappy.
Proust, Marcel

Bevan, Aneurin

3.
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

4.
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

5.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

Henri-FrÚdÚric Amiel

8.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

9.
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.

10.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

11.
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

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

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

16.
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson

17.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

18.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

19.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

20.
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

21.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

22.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

23.
I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.
G. K. Chesterton

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

25.
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

26.
No moral system can rest solely on authority.
A. J. Ayer

27.
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

28.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

29.
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

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
Lawrence, D. H.

34.
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

35.
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

36.
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

37.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

Lao-Tzu

45.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

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

48.
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

49.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean
