Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

5.
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy

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

15.
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

16.
No moral system can rest solely on authority.
A. J. Ayer

17.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

18.
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

Sontag, Susan

23.
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

24.
To give a man full knowledge of morality, I would send him to no other book than the New Testament.
Locke, John

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

Henry David Thoreau

27.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

28.
We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.
Hands, Terry

29.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

30.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

31.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

32.
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

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