Text Quotes
A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it  (Moral Quotes) Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity, to pave the way toward making many more nations self sufficient and self sustaining  (Moral Quotes) When anyone has the power to destroy the whole human race in a matter of hours, it becomes a moral issue. The church must speak out  (Moral Quotes) Concern for this or that limited good can sometimes lead to the summit... But this occurs in a roundabout way. Moral ends... Are distinct from any excesses they occasion. States of glory and moments of sacredness surpass results intentionally sought  (Moral Quotes) Is what makes moments caught up in the immanence of return suddenly appear as ends. In every other system, don't forget, these moments are viewed as means: Every moral system proclaims that each moment of life ought to be motivated. Return unmotivates the moment and frees life of ends  (Moral Quotes) The theoretically unrestricted right to develop power, to wage war against other states, is antisocial and is doubly dangerous, because the state as a mass entity represents a low moral and intellectual level  (Moral Quotes) I am a humanist because I think humanity can, with constant moral guidance, create reasonably decent societies. I think that young people who want to understand the world can profit from the works of Plato and Socrates, the behaviour of the three Thomases, Aquinas, more and Jefferson - the austere analyses of Immanuel Kant and the political leadership of Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt  (Moral Quotes) Great artistic talent in any direction... Is hardly inherent to the man. It comes and goes; it is often possessed only for a short phase in his life; it hardly ever colors his character as a whole and has nothing to do with the moral and intellectual stuff of the mind and soul. Many great artists, perhaps most great artists, have been poor fellows indeed, whom to know was to despise  (Moral Quotes) If we can find God only as he is revealed in nature we have no moral God  (Moral Quotes) I place a high moral value on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit  (Moral Quotes) What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after  (Moral Quotes) Last, but by no means least, courage - moral courage, the courage of one's convictions, the courage to see things through. The world; is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle - the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your; conscience on the other  (Moral Quotes) The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to it's children  (Moral Quotes) Mankind never loses any good thing, physical, intellectual, or moral, till it finds a better, and then the loss is a gain. No steps backward is the rule of human history. What is gained by one man is invested in all men, and is a permanent investment for all time  (Moral Quotes) We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death  (Moral Quotes) What can be said for a man who would allow his home to be invaded by strangers who demanded they be fed, clothed, housed and granted the rights of the first born? What can be said for a ruling elite that permits this to be done to the nation, and who celebrate it as a milestone of moral progress?  (Moral Quotes) By exploring the political and moral colorings of discoveries about what makes us tick, we can have a more honest science and a less fearful intellectual milieu  (Moral Quotes) The cure for false theology is motherwit. Forget your books and traditions, and obey your moral perceptions at this hour  (Moral Quotes) What I have absolutely no sympathy with is the legislator, the man who seeks, for his own profit, to exploit the weaknesses of those who are unable to help themselves and then to fasten some moral superscription upon it. This I loathe so much that I cannot conceivably explain how much it is  (Moral Quotes) Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent  (Moral Quotes) Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television  (Moral Quotes) The moral duty to be expected in different ages is not a unity of standard, or of acts, but a unity of tendency... At one time the benevolent affections embrace merely the family, soon the circle expanding includes first a class, then a nation, then a coalition of nations, then all humanity and finally, it's influence is felt in the dealings of man with the animal world  (Moral Quotes) My faith has been the driving thing of my life. I think it is important that people who are perceived as liberals not be afraid of talking about moral and community values  (Moral Quotes) All political revolutions, not affected by foreign conquest, originate in moral revolutions. The subversion of established institutions is merely one consequence of the previous subversion of established opinions  (Moral Quotes) In my old age, I have been thinking about this, and I have reached the conclusion that those who have physical courage also have moral courage  (Moral Quotes) The price paid for intellectual pacification is the sacrifice of the entire moral courage of the human mind  (Moral Quotes) In a world in which there is so much to interest, so much to enjoy, and so much also to correct and improve, everyone who has this moderate amount of moral and intellectual requisites is capable of an existence which may be called enviable; and unless such a person, through bad laws, or subjection to the will of others, is denied the liberty to use the sources of happiness within his reach, he will not fail to find the enviable existence  (Moral Quotes) The human faculties of perception, judgment, discriminative feeling, mental activity, and even moral preference, are exercised only in making a choice. He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice  (Moral Quotes) To bring a child into existence without a fair prospect of being able, not only to provide food for it's body, but instruction and training for it's mind is a moral crime, both against the unfortunate offspring and against society  (Moral Quotes) Is there any moral enormity which might not be justified by imitation of such a deity?  (Moral Quotes)
