Morality

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
Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
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

2.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

3.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

4.
A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

8.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

9.
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.

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel

13.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

14.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

15.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

16.
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.

17.
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

18.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

19.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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

23.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
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

25.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

26.
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

27.
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.

28.
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

29.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

30.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

31.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

32.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

33.
We become moral when we are unhappy.
Proust, Marcel

34.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

35.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

36.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

37.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

38.
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

39.
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

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.
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

42.
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

43.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

44.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

45.
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

46.
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

47.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

48.
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

49.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

50.
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
