Psychological abuse is.. the sustained, repetitive, inappropriate behavior which damages or substantially reduces the creative and developmental potential of crucially important mental faculties and mental processes of a child, including intelligence, memory, recognition, perception, attention, imagination, and moral development. ~ Kieran O'Hagan
Moral Development quotes by Kieran O'Hagan
It is time the clergy are told that thinking men, after a close examination of that doctrine, pronounce it to be subversive of true moral development and, therefore, positively noxious. ~ George Eliot
Moral Development quotes by George Eliot
When men are engaged in war and conquest, the tools of science become as dangerous as a razor in the hands of a child of three. We must not condemn man because his inventiveness and patient conquest of the forces of nature are being exploited for false and destructive purposes. Rather, we should remember that the fate of mankind hinges entirely upon man's moral development. ~ Albert Einstein
Moral Development quotes by Albert Einstein
The moral development of a civilization is measured by the breadth of its sense of community. ~ Anatol Rapoport
Moral Development quotes by Anatol Rapoport
The bottom line, as Raul Hilberg put it, was that most people thought that, even if Jews shouldn't be killed, they weren't worth saving. ~ Victoria J. Barnett
Moral Development quotes by Victoria J. Barnett
Discriminating and broad-minded criticism is what the South needs,--needs it for the sake of own white sons and so daughters, and for the insurance of robust, healthy mental and moral development. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Moral Development quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
Of course, all during my childhood, would-be saviors tried to rescue my fellow tribal members. They wanted to rescue me. But, even then, I could only laugh at their platitudes. In those days, the cultural conservatives thought that KISS and Black Sabbath were going to impede my moral development. They wanted to protect me from sex when I had already been raped. They wanted to protect me from evil though a future serial killer had already abused me. They wanted me to profess my love for God without considering that I was the child and grandchild of men and women who'd been sexually and physically abused by generations of clergy. ~ Sherman Alexie
Moral Development quotes by Sherman Alexie
For every step in spiritual perception, three steps are to be taken in moral development. ~ Rudolf Steiner
Moral Development quotes by Rudolf Steiner
As blacks, we need not be afraid that encouraging moral development, a conscience and guilt will prevent social action. Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first. They are unlikely to be involved in social action to improve the black community. Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white. ~ James P. Comer
Moral Development quotes by James P. Comer
The perfecting of one's self is the fundamental base of all progress and all moral development. ~ Confucius
Moral Development quotes by Confucius
I've always stressed the value of autonomy for intellectual and moral development. Autonomy provides us with a sphere of discretion which we all require. ~ Brian D'Ambrosio
Moral Development quotes by Brian D'Ambrosio
The way that we think is dependent upon our flowering formal and informal education. How we think affects our behavior. How we conduct ourselves in the unscripted interactions with our family, friends, and lovers alters our emotional being. Our emotional being funnels our thought processes. Our community modulates our actions and establishes standards for behavior, and our logical reasoning and moral reasoning skills evolve as we mature. The didactical association between education, thinking, behaving, communal relationships, and the ongoing process of making logical and moral decisions continues to shape unions and disunions of our transforming character. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Moral Development quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Many humanists have argued that happiness involves a combination of hedonism and creative moral development; that an exuberant life fuses excellence and enjoyment, meaning and enrichment, emotion and cognition. ~ Paul Kurtz
Moral Development quotes by Paul Kurtz
The object of basic education is the physical, intellectual and moral development of children through the medium of handicraft. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Moral Development quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
In order to have a literature, a nation must live, not merely on the practical, but on the moral and spiritual plane as well, contributing through its national life to the development of some side of the universal spirit of man. ~ Vissarion Belinsky
Moral Development quotes by Vissarion Belinsky
There is increasing social concern about our use of nonhumans for experiments, food, clothing and entertainment. This concern about animals reflects both our own moral development as a civilization and our recognition that the differences between humans and animals are, for the most part, differences of degree and not of kind. ~ Gary L. Francione
Moral Development quotes by Gary L. Francione
Although I am a political liberal, I believe that conservatives have a better understanding of moral development (although not of moral psychology in general - they are too committed to the myth of pure evil). Conservatives want schools to teach lessons that will create a positive and uniquely American identity, including a heavy dose of American history and civics, using English as the only national language. Liberals are justifiably wary of jingoism, nationalism, and the focus on books by "dead white males," but I think everyone who cares about education should remember that the American motto of e pluribus, unum (from many, one) has two parts. The celebration of pluribus should be balanced by policies that strengthen the unum. ~ Jonathan Haidt
Moral Development quotes by Jonathan Haidt
We can, following the exemple of Kant, consider the moral development and improvement of men, as the supreme goal of human evolution. ~ African Spir
Moral Development quotes by African Spir
Science has provided the possibility of liberation for human beings from hard labor, but science itself is not a liberator. It creates means not goals. Man should use [Science] for reasonable goals. When the ideals of humanity are war and conquest, those tools become as dangerous as a razor in the hands of a child of three. We must not condemn man's inventiveness and patient conquest of the forces of nature because they are being used wrongly and disobediently now. The fate of humanity is entirely dependent upon its moral development. ~ Albert Einstein
Moral Development quotes by Albert Einstein
The law is the witness and external deposit of our moral life. Its history is the history of the moral development of the race. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Moral Development quotes by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
Once the mass of the defending infantry become possessed of low moral, the battle is as good as lost. ~ Douglas Haig
Moral Development quotes by Douglas Haig
The greatest guilt of today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: But I didn't mean this! ~ Ayn Rand
Moral Development quotes by Ayn Rand
You might have good, moral efforts of working hard and earning money in order to help feed the poor or something along those lines - and then you get the money you've been seeking and you see and feel and taste how sweet it is and you only want more and more and more for ... yourself.
Money corrupts its own intentions. ~ Cole Ryan
Moral Development quotes by Cole Ryan
Militant atheists seek to discredit religion based on a highly selective reading of history. There was a time not long ago - just a couple of centuries - when the Western world was saturated by religion. Militant atheists are quick to attribute many of the most unfortunate aspects of history to religion, yet rarely concede the immense debt that civilization owes to various monotheist religions, which created some of the world's greatest literature, art, and architecture; led the movement to abolish slavery; and fostered the development of science and technology. One should not invalidate these achievements merely because they were developed for religious purposes. If much of science was originally a religious endeavor, does that mean science is not valuable? Is religiously motivated charity not genuine? Is art any less beautiful because it was created to express devotion to God? To regret religion is to regret our civilization and its achievements. ~ Bruce Sheiman
Moral Development quotes by Bruce Sheiman
I don't need to think that I'm being loomed over my shoulder in order to behave in a way that's moral. ~ John Amaechi
Moral Development quotes by John Amaechi
Mature development - does not come from severing the early infantile sense of unity with the Mother, but from reestablishing it. The holistic point of ancient women's religion was that the Mother is not one's personal maternal parent solely, but the entire community of women, the entire living earth, and beyond this the entire surrounding and ongoing cosmic process. One could not be alienated because one is always within this process, as it is always within the self. Unless, of course, such knowledge is suppressed from the outside, by patriarchal conditioning.
Truly, our very sanity is at stake with continuing patriarchy and the denial of the cosmic self - the Goddess - within us all, and within her.
The Great Mother was the projection of the self-experience of groups of highly aware and productive women who were the founders of much of human culture. In this sense the Great Mother is not simply a mental archetype, but a historical fact. ~ Monica Sjoo Barbara Mor
Moral Development quotes by Monica Sjoo Barbara Mor
Autism is a neurological disorder. It's not caused by bad parenting. It's caused by, you know, abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter, which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments. ~ Temple Grandin
Moral Development quotes by Temple Grandin
Our founders did not believe that our society could thrive without this kind of moral social structure. In fact, it was our second president, John Adams, who said of our thoroughly researched and developed governing document, Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. ~ Ben Carson
Moral Development quotes by Ben Carson
If only one person in the world held down a terrified, struggling, screaming little girl, cut off her genitals with a septic blade, and sewed her back up, leaving only a tiny hole for urine and menstrual flow, the only question would be how severely that person should be punished, and whether the death penalty would be a sufficiently severe sanction. But when millions of people do this, instead of the enormity being magnified millions-fold, suddenly it becomes "culture," and thereby magically becomes less, rather than more, horrible, and is even defended by some Western "moral thinkers," including feminists. ~ Steven Pinker
Moral Development quotes by Steven Pinker
If we cannot be decent, let us endeavor to be graceful. If we can't be moral, at least we can avoid being vulgar. ~ Langdon Elwyn Mitchell
Moral Development quotes by Langdon Elwyn Mitchell
Mathematics, in the development of its ideas, has only to take account of the immanent reality of its concepts and has absolutely no obligation to examine their transient reality. ~ Georg Cantor
Moral Development quotes by Georg Cantor
You are so afraid of losing your moral sense that you are not willing to take it through anything more dangerous than a mud-puddle. ~ Gertrude Stein
Moral Development quotes by Gertrude Stein
If there are quarrels between the parents or if their marriage is unhappy, the ground will be prepared in their children for the severest predisposition to a disturbance of sexual development or to neurotic illness. ~ Sigmund Freud
Moral Development quotes by Sigmund Freud
Conservatives say the government can't end poverty by force, but they believe it can use force to make people moral. Liberals say government can't make people be moral, but they believe it can end poverty. Neither group attempts to explain why government is so clumsy and destructive in one area but a paragon of efficiency and benevolence in the other. ~ Harry Browne
Moral Development quotes by Harry Browne
The only competition you will ever face is with your own ignorance. ~ Bob Proctor
Moral Development quotes by Bob Proctor
All of the great achievers of the past have been visionary figures; they were men and women who projected into the future. They thought of what could be, rather than what already was, and then they moved themselves into action, to bring these things into fruition. ~ Bob Proctor
Moral Development quotes by Bob Proctor
Who you are when you have no power to say anything, and who you become when you have power to say everything will determine whether you are a leader or not. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Moral Development quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
The course of the world constantly and inevitably frustrates our moral demands. ~ Ernst Cassirer
Moral Development quotes by Ernst Cassirer
Telephone operators now routinely use '80s-babble, chirping, "Have a nice day," the moral equivalent of the smile button. ~ Stefan Kanfer
Moral Development quotes by Stefan Kanfer
He did not want to fail, when the Bee Master had trusted him with the home and the possessions and the occupation that were all he had of his very own, and he did not know that as the storm drew nearer, as the clouds grew blacker, as the heat waves resolved themselves into definite flashes of lightning, as the night closed down black as velvet around him, he did not realize that his moral and mental forces were rising with the tide of the storm, that all the remnants of manhood left in his shaken body were gathering together for some sort of culmination, just as presently the storm would reach its height and then subside. ~ Gene Stratton-Porter
Moral Development quotes by Gene Stratton-Porter
The development of the telescope, together with increased knowledge of things, brought men to see that the earth is not what man had once thought it to be. ~ Joseph Franklin Rutherford
Moral Development quotes by Joseph Franklin Rutherford
Without God the economy is only economy, nature is nothing more than a deposit of material, the family only a contract, life nothing more than a laboratory product, love only chemistry, and development nothing more than a form of growth. ~ Giampaolo Crepaldi
Moral Development quotes by Giampaolo Crepaldi
Art had no moral responsibility. Art, he argued, should strive only to be a beautiful object entirely separate from its creator. ~ Oscar Wilde
Moral Development quotes by Oscar Wilde
We marched him to the turfy shack where he lived with his parents and while the youth sulked Petronius Longus put the whole moral issue in succinct terms to them: Ollia's father was a legionary veteran who had served in Egypt and Syria for over twenty years until he left with double pay, three medals, and a diploma that made Ollia legitimate; he now ran a boxers' training school where he was famous for his high-minded attitude and his fighters were notorious for their loyalty to him ... The old fisherman was a toothless, hapless, faithless cove you would not trust too near you with a filleting knife, but whether from fear or simple cunning he co-operated eagerly. The lad agreed to marry the girl and since Silvia would never abandon Ollia here, we decided that the fisherboy had to come back with us to Rome. His relations looked impressed by this result. We accepted it as the best we could achieve. ~ Lindsey Davis
Moral Development quotes by Lindsey Davis
The typical Anarchist, then, may be defined as follows: A man perceptible by the spirit of revolt under one or more of its forms, - opposition, investigation, criticism, innovation, - endowed with a strong love of liberty, egoistic or individualistic, and possessed of great curiosity, a keen desire to know. These traits are supplemented by an ardent love of others, a highly developed moral sensitiveness, a profound sentiment of justice, and imbued with missionary zeal." To the above characteristics, says Alvin F. Sanborn, must be added these sterling qualities: a rare love of animals, surpassing sweetness in all the ordinary relations of life, exceptional sobriety of demeanor, frugality and regularity, austerity, even, of living, and courage beyond compare.[2] ~ Emma Goldman
Moral Development quotes by Emma Goldman
Puritanism, he said, was a reaction to the loss of moral fiber that accompanied the Renaissance. ~ Barbara W. Tuchman
Moral Development quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman
Two presidents pursued human rights policies that were serious and effective: Reagan and George W. Bush. They understood that American support for human rights activists is a moral imperative for us and also makes the world safer for us. ~ Elliott Abrams
Moral Development quotes by Elliott Abrams
The moral of the story is that seeking truth, rather than fear of pain or the desire for happiness, is the correct orientation toward inner work, since seeking happiness makes you its prisoner just as surely as does pain. ~ Sandra Maitri
Moral Development quotes by Sandra Maitri
The most moral activity of all is the creation of space for life to move around. ~ Robert M. Pirsig
Moral Development quotes by Robert M. Pirsig
[Golfers] are a special kind of moral relist who nips the normal romantic and idealstic yearnings in the bud by proving once or twice a week that life is unconquerable but endurable. ~ Alistair Cooke
Moral Development quotes by Alistair Cooke
Nature is not a drag on growth. Its protection is an unavoidable prerequisite for sustaining economic development ~ Tony Juniper
Moral Development quotes by Tony Juniper
Americans assume that we never go to war to sustain our wealth, because war must be understood as a moral enterprise commensurate with our being a democracy. ~ Stanley Hauerwas
Moral Development quotes by Stanley Hauerwas
[the virtues] cannot exist without Prudence. A proof of this is that everyone, even at the present day, in defining Virtue, after saying what disposition it is [i.e. moral virtue] and specifying the things with which it is concerned, adds that it is a disposition determined by the right principle; and the right principle is the principle determined by Prudence. ~ Aristotle.
Moral Development quotes by Aristotle.
As I approach a new project, my process always begins with the question: what is it about? Here's one answer that might apply to a Star Trek movie...

I want it to be about the most horrible, treacherous aliens ever known to man who are about to destroy life as we know it, leading to the most spectacular thrill ride of an adventure with fantastic space battles and huge explosions and great special effects -- a white knuckle ride for the movie audience.

Yeah, but what's it about?

I can write space battles with the best of them, but what makes that space battle interesting to me is: why are they fighting? What are the stakes? What does the hero lose if he loses? And what does he win if he wins? Why should we care?

I'm talking about the second level of story-telling. The level that examines what's going on inside the characters - their moral and ethical dilemmas, their doubts, fears, inner conflicts, how they change as the story progresses. These are the things that make us, as members of an audience, get emotionally involved. ~ Michael Piller
Moral Development quotes by Michael Piller
Again, although I'm not a particularly religious person, I go back to the religious left that I come out of: There are moral imperatives to fight back. As Daniel Berrigan says, "We're called to do the good." And then we have to let it go. It's not our job to know where the good goes. ~ Chris Hedges
Moral Development quotes by Chris Hedges
when you are a child you unconsciously adopt certain beliefs. Yet, there comes
the necessity to upgrade these beliefs as you grow older. ~ Derric Yuh Ndim
Moral Development quotes by Derric Yuh Ndim
I've loved fairytales, folklore and mythology since I was a small child, and I think it was inevitable that they would influence my style and my development of stories. ~ Juliet Marillier
Moral Development quotes by Juliet Marillier
To her
Even endless expanding distance of time space and matter is not enough to tell you how I feel. It is there inside the mysterious identity we call soul. ~ Sameh Elsayed
Moral Development quotes by Sameh Elsayed
I hadn't seen any novel make the statement that entering the workforce was like entering the grave. That from then on, nothing happens and you have to pretend to be interested in your work. And, furthermore, that some people have a sex life and others don't just because some are more attractive than others. I wanted to acknowledge that if people don't have a sex life, it's not for some moral reason, it's just because they're ugly. Once you've said it,
it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it. ~ Michel Houellebecq
Moral Development quotes by Michel Houellebecq
Life is like defusing a bomb, once you cut the wrong wire your whole life is ruined. ~ Mohamed Zahy Hussain
Moral Development quotes by Mohamed Zahy Hussain
If overpopulation or lack of resources created poverty, then Hong Kong should be poor. Hong Kong has 20 times as many people per square mile as India, and no valuable natural resources. Yet Hong Kong is rich; the average income there is higher than in Great Britain or Canada. This is a recent development. In the 1920s, Hong Kong was as poor as India. But in a relatively short time it became rich because of one key ingredient: economic freedom. ~ John Stossel
