Morality

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

Goldman, Emma

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

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

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.

Neeson, Liam

12.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

13.
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

14.
For the superior morality, of which we hear so much, we too would desire to be thankful: at the same time, it were but blindness to deny that this superior morality is properly rather an inferior criminality, produced not by greater love of Virtue, but by greater perfection of Police; and of that far subtler and stronger Police, called Public Opinion.
Carlyle, Thomas

15.
Might was the measure of right.
Lucan, F. L.

16.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

Sica, Vittorio De

19.
We moralize among ruins.
Disraeli, Benjamin

20.
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

21.
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

22.
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank

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

27.
All sects are different, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.
Voltaire

28.
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

29.
Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.
King Jr. Martin Luther

30.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

31.
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

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

34.
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

35.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

36.
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

37.
An Englishman thinks he is moral when he is only uncomfortable.
George Bernard Shaw

38.

Robert Louis Stevenson
