Best Quotes about Morality

1.
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

2.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

3.
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

4.
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

5.
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

6.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

7.
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank

8.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

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

11.
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

12.
We become moral when we are unhappy.
Proust, Marcel

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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

16.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

17.
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

18.
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

19.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

20.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

21.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel

22.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Rand, Ayn

27.
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

28.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

29.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

30.
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

31.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel

32.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

33.
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

34.
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.

35.
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

36.
Just as there's garbage that pollutes the Potomac river, there is garbage polluting our culture. We need an Environmental Protection Agency to clean it up.
Buchanan, Patrick

37.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

38.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

39.
The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.
Shuman, Rick

40.
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

41.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

42.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

43.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

44.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

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

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.
