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

Best Quotes about Morality

1.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

2.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

3.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

4.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel

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.
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

7.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

8.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

9.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

10.
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

11.
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

12.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

13.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

14.
No moral system can rest solely on authority.
A. J. Ayer

15.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

16.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

17.
Might was the measure of right.
Lucan, F. L.

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

19.
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

20.
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Rand, Ayn

21.
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

22.
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

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

25.
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

26.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

27.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

28.
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

29.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

30.
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

31.
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.

32.
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

33.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

37.
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.

38.
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

39.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

40.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

41.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

42.
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

43.
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

44.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

45.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

46.
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

47.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

48.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

49.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

50.
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
