Neeson, Liam

2.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

3.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

4.
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.

5.
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

6.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

7.
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

8.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

Sontag, Susan

12.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

13.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

14.
For the superior morality, of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this superior morality is properly rather an inferior criminality, produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

19.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

20.
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

21.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

22.
The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.
Shuman, Rick

23.
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

24.
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

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

King Jr. Martin Luther

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

30.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

31.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

32.
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

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

35.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire
