Morality

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
Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

2.
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

3.
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

4.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

5.
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

6.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel

7.
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

8.
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

9.
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

10.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

11.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

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

14.
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Huxley, Aldous

15.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

16.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

17.
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin

18.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

19.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

20.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel

21.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

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

24.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

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

26.
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

27.
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

28.
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

29.
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

30.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

31.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

32.
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

33.
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Rand, Ayn

34.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

35.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

44.
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

45.
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.

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

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.
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
