Best Quotes about Morality
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
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
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar
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
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De
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
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.
Feoude
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
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Kant, Immanuel
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire
The quality of moral behavior varies in inverse ratio to the number of human beings involved.
Huxley, Aldous
The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.
Shuman, Rick
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy
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
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
Rand, Ayn
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
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.
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
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
In Los Angeles, it's like they jog for two hours a day and then they think they're morally right. That's when you want to choke people, you know?
Neeson, Liam
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
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter
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.
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
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.
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
Many people convince themselves if it is economically necessary, it's morally right. That's not always the case.
There's always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.
Lawrence, D. H.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell
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
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean
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
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John
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
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
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust
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
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
I have never regarded politics as the arena of morals. It is the arena of interest.
Bevan, Aneurin
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank
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
