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

3.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

4.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

5.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

6.
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.

7.
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

8.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

9.
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

10.
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

11.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

12.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

13.
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

14.
When virtue is lost, benevolence appears, when benevolence is lost right conduct appears, when right conduct is lost, expedience appears. Expediency is the mere shadow of right and truth; it is the beginning of disorder.
Lao-Tzu

15.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

16.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

17.
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.

18.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

19.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

20.
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

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

22.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

23.
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

24.
It is almost systematically to constitute a natural moral law. Nature has no principles. She furnishes us with no reason to believe that human life is to be respected. Nature, in her indifference, makes no difference between right and wrong.
France, Anatole

25.
The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.
Shuman, Rick

26.
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

27.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel

28.
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

29.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

30.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

31.
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

32.
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

33.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

34.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

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

37.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

38.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

39.
Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Crowley, Aleister

40.
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

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

Kraus, Karl

43.
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

44.
Might was the measure of right.
Lucan, F. L.

45.
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

46.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

47.
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

48.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

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.
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
