Ethics

«Even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless if there isn't the will to do what is right»
«A person educated in mind and not in morals is a menace to society»
«Character is doing the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay. When it comes to character, you don?t have to be sick to get better. It?s easier for a good person to get better than for a bad person to get good.»
«Calamity is the test of integrity.»
Author: Samuel Richardson | About: Ethics | Keywords: calamity, The test
«Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling.»
«Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.»
«Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality.»
«All mankind lives and each man strives by codes of conduct mutually agreed. Perhaps these codes are good, perhaps they?re bad, it?s only evident they?re codes. Mores bind the race. Coaction then occurs. Thought and motion in accord. A oneness then of purpose and survival so results. But now against that code there is transgression. And so because the code was held, whatever code it was, and man sought comfort in man?s company, he held back his deed and so entered then the bourne in which no being laughs or has a freedom in his heart.»
«A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.»
«A man is ethical only when life, as such, is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men, and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.»
