Best Quotes about Morality

1.
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

2.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

3.
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

4.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

5.
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

6.
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Rand, Ayn

7.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

8.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
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

13.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

14.
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

15.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

20.
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

21.
No moral system can rest solely on authority.
A. J. Ayer

22.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

23.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

24.
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson

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

26.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

27.
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Huxley, Aldous

28.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
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

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

31.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

32.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

33.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

34.
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

35.
A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg

36.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

37.
The greater part of humanity is too much harassed and fatigued by the struggle with want, to rally itself for a new and sterner struggle with error.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

38.
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

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.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

41.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

42.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

43.
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

44.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

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.
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

47.
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank

48.
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy

49.
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

50.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche
