Morality

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
Morality Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Morality

1.
What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
Hemingway, Ernest

2.
There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.
Wilde, Oscar

3.
I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it.
G. K. Chesterton

4.
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

5.
Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
Kraus, Karl

6.
A set of rules laid out by professionals to show the way they would like to act if it was profitable.
Dane, Frank

7.
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

8.
The soul is the captain and ruler of the life of morals.
Sallust

9.
'Wrong'is one of those concepts that depends on witnesses.
Scott Adams

10.
In the ocean of baseness, the deeper we get, the easier the sinking.
Lowell, James Russell

11.
Morality is suspecting other people of not being legally married.
Shaw, George Bernard

12.
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Anouilh, Jean

13.
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

14.
Corruption is like a ball of snow, once it's set a rolling it must increase.
Colton, Charles Caleb

15.
There is nothing so bad but it can masquerade as moral.
Lippmann, Walter

16.
The person who still blushes is not yet a degenerate.
Young

17.
We become moral when we are unhappy.
Proust, Marcel

18.
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

19.
Truth is the secret of eloquence and of virtue, the basis of moral authority; it is the highest summit of art and life.
Henri-FrÚdÚric Amiel

20.
No moral system can rest solely on authority.
A. J. Ayer

21.
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

22.
There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
Denis Diderot

23.
Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales.
Crowley, Aleister

24.
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

25.
Morality, like art, means drawing a line someplace.
Oscar Wilde

26.
Perfection of moral virtue does not wholly take away the passions, but regulates them.
Saint Thomas Aquinas

27.
The biggest threat to our well-being is the absence of moral clarity and purpose.
Shuman, Rick

28.
Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.
Wilde, Oscar

29.
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

30.
Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.
Crowley, Aleister

31.
Might was the measure of right.
Lucan, F. L.

32.
Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning -- an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

33.
Moral indignation in most cases is, 2% moral, 48% indignation, and 50% envy.
Sica, Vittorio De

34.
No author can be as moral as his work and no preacher as pious as his sermons.
Paul, Jean

35.
Morality is herd instinct in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche

36.
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

37.
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

38.
Morality comes with the sad wisdom of age, when the sense of curiosity has withered.
Greene, Graham

39.
The better one is morally the less aware they are of their virtue.
Froude, James A.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.
Kraus, Karl

43.
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

44.
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

45.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

46.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Mencken, H. L.

47.
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

48.
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

49.
The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

50.
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
