Best Quotes about Morality

1.
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

2.
The higher the building the lower the morals.
Coward, Noel

3.
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.

Jonathan Haidt

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

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

Hume, Basil

17.
Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions.
Durant, William J.

18.
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

19.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

20.
The new so called morality has too often the old immorality condoned.
Shawcross, Lord

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

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

John Ruskin

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

Wilde, Oscar

Dane, Frank

28.
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

29.
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

30.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

31.
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

32.
Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.
Young, Andrew

33.

France, Anatole

41.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

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

Humboldt, Karl Wilhelm Von

49.
