Best Quotes about Morality

1.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

2.
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

3.
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

We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

5.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

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

7.
We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one that we preach, but do not practice, and another that we practice, but seldom preach.
Russell, Bertrand

8.
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

9.
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson

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

11.
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

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

14.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

15.
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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Might was the measure of right.
Lucan, F. L.

20.
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

21.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

22.
No moral system can rest solely on authority.
A. J. Ayer

23.

Crowley, Aleister

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

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

26.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

27.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

28.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

29.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

30.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

31.
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

32.
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy

33.
The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others.
Bertrand Russell

34.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

35.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

36.
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

37.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

38.
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

39.
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

40.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

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

Huxley, Aldous

48.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

49.
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

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