Text Quotes
Since the nature of people is bad, to become corrected they must be taught by teachers and to be orderly they must acquire ritual and moral principles  (Moral Quotes) Samurai culture did exist really, for hundreds of years and the notion of people trying to create some sort of a moral code, the idea that there existed certain behaviors that could be celebrated and that could be operative in a life  (Moral Quotes) While there are practical and sometimes moral reasons for the decomposition of the family, it coincides neither with what most people in society say they desire nor, especially in the case of children, with their best interests  (Moral Quotes) Science does not have a moral dimension. It is like a knife. If you give it to a surgeon or a murderer, each will use it differently  (Moral Quotes) Christ does not dress up a moral picture, and ask you to observe its beauty. He only tells you how to live; and the most beautiful characters the world has ever seen, have been those who received and lived these precepts without once conceiving their beauty  (Moral Quotes) We must never lose sight of the fact that the law has a moral foundation, and we must never fail to ask ourselves not only what the law is, but what the law should be  (Moral Quotes) I have had my television aerials removed. It is the moral equivalent of a prostate operation  (Moral Quotes) It is not the armed forces which can protect our democracy. It is the moral strength of democracy which alone can give any meaning to the efforts at military security  (Moral Quotes) If we cannot be decent, let us endeavor to be graceful. If we can’t be moral, at least we can avoid being vulgar  (Moral Quotes) The capacity for imaginative reflex, for moral risk in any human being is not limitless; on the contrary, it can be rapidly absorbed by fictions, and thus the cry in the poem may come to sound louder, more urgent, more real than the cry in the street outside. The death in the novel may move us more potently than the death in the next room. Thus there may be a covert, betraying link between the cultivation of aesthetic response and the potential of personal inhumanity  (Moral Quotes) The gayety of life, like the beauty and the moral worth of life, is a saving grace, which to ignore is folly, and to destroy is crime. There is no more than we need; there is barely enough to go round  (Moral Quotes) There is an optimism which nobly anticipates the eventual triumph of great moral laws, and there is an optimism which cheerfully tolerates unworthiness  (Moral Quotes) People have been modeling their lives after films for years, but the medium is somehow unsuited to moral lessons, cautionary tales or polemics of any kind  (Moral Quotes) There is no such thing as a moral dress. It’s people who are moral or immoral  (Moral Quotes) Ideas are powerful things, requiring not a studious contemplation but an action, even if it is only an inner action. Their acquisition obligates each man in some way to change his life, even if it is only his inner life. They demand to be stood for. They dictate where a man must concentrate his vision. They determine his moral and intellectual priorities. They provide him with allies and make him enemies. In short, ideas impose an interest in their ultimate fate which goes far beyond the realm of the merely reasonable  (Moral Quotes) Man’s characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels. Because the greater, better part of his existence transcends the body, he escapes the body’s yoke, but is subject to that of society  (Moral Quotes) 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  (Moral Quotes) As soon as you bring up money, I notice, conversation gets sociological, then political, then moral  (Moral Quotes) The power of a movement lies in the fact that it can indeed change the habits of people. This change is not the result of force but of dedication, of moral persuasion  (Moral Quotes) The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of secreting glands. Its results can be measured in terms of increased physical buoyancy, greater intellectual vigor, moral stamina, and a deeper understanding of the realities underlying human relationship  (Moral Quotes) Whatever touches the nerves of motive, whatever shifts man’s moral position, is mightier than steam, or calorie, or lightening  (Moral Quotes) We cannot assume the injustice of any actions which only create offense, and especially as regards religion and morals. He who utters or does anything to wound the conscience and moral sense of others, may indeed act immorally; but, so long as he is not guilty of being importunate, he violates no right  (Moral Quotes) A striking feature of moral and political argument in the modern world is the extent to which it is innovators, radicals, and revolutionaries who revive old doctrines, while their conservative and reactionary opponents are the inventors of new ones  (Moral Quotes) If you would know the political and moral condition of a people, ask as to the position of its women  (Moral Quotes) Proverbs are for the most part rules of moral, or, still more properly, of prudential conduct  (Moral Quotes) We never reach our ideals, whether of mental or moral improvement, but the thought of them shows us our deficiencies, and spurs us on to higher and better things  (Moral Quotes) I hold it to be the moral duty of women to make themselves beautiful in all lawful ways  (Moral Quotes) The really difficult moral issues arise, not from a confrontation of good and evil, but from a collision between two goods  (Moral Quotes) Though we have two eyes, we are supplied with but one tongue. Draw your own moral  (Moral Quotes) The doubts of an honest man contain more moral truth than the profession of faith of people under a worldly yoke  (Moral Quotes)
