- Russell, Bertrand

Best Quotes about Morality

1.
Morality and expediency coincide more than the cynics allow.
Hattersley, Roy

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

3.
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

4.
A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.

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

Lowell, James Russell

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

10.
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

11.
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

12.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

13.
The end never really justifies the meanness.
Hulse, E. Duane

Henry David Thoreau

15.
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
Hazlitt, William

16.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

17.
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

18.
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

19.
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

20.
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

21.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

22.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

24.

Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

27.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

28.
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

29.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

30.
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

31.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

32.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

34.
Moral choices do not depend on personal preference and private decision but on right reason and, I would add, divine order.
Hume, Basil

35.
While moral rules may be propounded by authority the fact that these were so propounded would not validate them.
Ayer, Sir Alfred Jules

36.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel

37.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

38.
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

39.
Time is the great equalizer in the field of morals.
Mencken, H. L.

40.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

41.
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

42.
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
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

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
