Morality

«The wise men of old have sent most of their morality down the stream of time in the light skiff of apothegm and epigram»
«We must show that liberty is not merely one particular value but that it is the source and condition of most moral values. What a free society offers to the individual is much more than what he would be able to do if only he were free. We can therefore not fully appreciate the value of freedom until we know how a society of free men as a whole differs from one in which unfreedom prevails.»
«Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.»
«The really difficult moral issues arise, not from a confrontation of good and evil, but from a collision between two goods»
«The morals of yesterday are no more. They are as dead as the day they were lived. Economic independence has put woman on exactly the same footing as man.»
Author: Norma Shearer (Actress) | About: Morality | Keywords: footing
«The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.»
Author: Matthew Arnold (Critic, Poet) | About: Emotion, Morality, Religion | Keywords: touched
«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.»
«The true artist doesn't substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser. And as soon as you see a finer morality, the grosser becomes relatively immoral.»
«Time is the great legalizer, even in the field of morals.»
«The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.»
