Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
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.

2.
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

3.
If your morals make you dreary, depend on it , they are wrong.
Robert Louis Stevenson

4.
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

5.
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Huxley, Aldous

6.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

7.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

8.
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

9.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

10.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

11.

King Jr. Martin Luther

12.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

13.
A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.
Zimmermann, Johann Georg

14.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

15.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

16.
A woman can look both moral and exciting -- if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle.
Ferber, Edna

17.
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

18.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

19.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

20.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

21.
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

22.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

23.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

24.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

25.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

26.
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

27.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

28.
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

29.
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

30.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

31.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

32.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

33.
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

34.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

35.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude

36.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

37.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

38.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

39.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

40.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

41.
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

42.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

43.
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
Lawrence, D. H.

44.
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

45.
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.

46.
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy

47.
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

48.
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

49.
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

50.
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
