Best Quotes about Morality

1.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

2.
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

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

4.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

5.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

6.
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

7.
A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg

8.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

9.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

10.
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.

11.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

12.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

13.
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

14.
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

15.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

16.
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

17.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

18.
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

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

22.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

23.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

24.
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

25.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

26.
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

27.
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

28.
We become moral when we are unhappy.
Proust, Marcel

29.
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

30.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
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

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

34.
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

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

37.
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

38.
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

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

40.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

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

42.
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

43.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

44.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

45.
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.

46.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

47.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

48.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

49.
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

50.
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
