The little individualist, recognizing his individual impotence, realizing that he did not possess within himself even the basis of a moral judgement against his big brother, began to change his point of view.

I’ve argued that many of what philosophers call moral sentiments can be seen in other species.

Intelligence, like fire, is a power that is neither good nor bad in itself but rather takes its virtue, its moral coloring, from its application (Moral Quotes)
Why should the search for happiness be only or essentially material and mental? Aren’t there untold riches too in the moral, the sentimental and the spiritual realms? (Moral Quotes)
Although our moral conscience is a part of our consciousness, we do not feel ourselves on an equality with it. In this voice which makes itself heard only to give us orders and establish prohibitions, we cannot recognize our own voices; the very tone in which it speaks to us warns us that it expresses something within us that is not of ourselves (Moral Quotes)
What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue (Moral Quotes)
Enhanced interrogation is not to be considered lightly, but the use of enhanced interrogation techniques does not require moral people to abandon their beliefs. Rather, it is precisely during these difficult times that one’s beliefs about life, justice and mercy become indispensible (Moral Quotes)
It makes me upset, if not angry, when people assume that there can be no morality without a religious framework. If there’s a moral framework without all that religious stuff, it’s more valuable (Moral Quotes)

The gentleman, therefore is a cultural person in the noblest sense of the word, if by culture we mean not simply wealth of intellectual knowledge but also the ability to fulfil one’s duty and understand one’s fellow man by respecting / every principle, every opinion, every faith that is sincerely professed (Moral Quotes)
One must speak for a struggle for a new culture, that is, for a new moral life that cannot but be intimately connected to a new intuition of life, until it becomes a new way of feeling and seeing reality (Moral Quotes)
There’s another kind of poverty that only rich men know, a moral malnutrition that starves their very souls (Moral Quotes)
