Refusal to stand up for what you believe in weakens individual morality and ethics as well as those of the culture. ~ Bell Hooks
Morality And Ethics quotes by Bell Hooks
For the law is not jurisprudence, not a weighty tome full of articles, not philosophical treatises, not peevish nonsense about justice, not hackneyed platitudes about morality and ethics. The law means safe paths and highways. It means backstreets one can walk along even after sundown. It means inns and taverns one can leave to visit the privy, leaving one's purse on the table and one's wife beside it. The law is the sleep of people certain they'll be woken by the crowing of the rooster and not the crashing of burning roof timbers! And for those who break the law; the noose, the axe, the stake and the red-hot iron! Punishments which deter others. ~ Andrzej Sapkowski
Morality And Ethics quotes by Andrzej Sapkowski
I gravitate toward the law, I think, certainly more times than not, because it's our best mechanism for legislating human behavior, and morality, and ethics. ~ David E. Kelley
Morality And Ethics quotes by David E. Kelley
Naturalism attempts to fortify itself against God by altogether shutting Him out of public life, social policy, the courts, and eliminating all biblical influence in morality and ethics. ~ John F. MacArthur Jr.
Morality And Ethics quotes by John F. MacArthur Jr.
An American Badass doesn't start fights, but knows if he must fight, he can with courage and conviction. An American Badass doesn't steal, lie, or subvert the society that he lives in. He lives by a code of unwavering morality, and ethics that are tempered with honor, honesty, integrity, leadership, and loyalty to family, friends, and America. ~ Dale Comstock
Morality And Ethics quotes by Dale Comstock
The Church has been trying to preach morality and ethics without the Gospel as a basis; it has been preaching morality without godliness; and it simply does not work. It never has done, and it never will. And the result is that the Church, having abandoned her real task, has left humanity more or less to its own devices. ~ D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Morality And Ethics quotes by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Morality is not respectability. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Morality And Ethics quotes by George Bernard Shaw
You cannot receive a shock unless you have an electric affinity for that which shocks you. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Morality And Ethics quotes by Henry David Thoreau
You're damn right we need a rational code of morality and ethics. But not much progress can be made in that direction while we've still got a majority ranting about gods, devils, souls, and absolute morality, and using an ancient book written by ignorant nomads as a guide. ~ Doug Graham
Morality And Ethics quotes by Doug Graham
Stand for something. Don't quest for popularity at the expense of morality and ethics and honesty. ~ Howard Cosell
Morality And Ethics quotes by Howard Cosell
There are ten commandments, right? Well, it's like an exam. You get eight out of ten, you're just about top of the class. ~ Mordecai Richler
Morality And Ethics quotes by Mordecai Richler
What is morality but immemorial custom? Conscience is the chief of conservatives. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Morality And Ethics quotes by Henry David Thoreau
There is also a trilogy of books out. I started reading right after Christmas Divergent. I went to read Insurgent after, and now I'm on the third one. I don't know, it's Detergent or whatever. But it's written by a 26-year-old girl. It's brilliant. But I'm about halfway through now on book number three. Wait until you get to book number three. Hello, Google genome project.

Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, and yet, morality and ethics are afterthoughts. We're excited about discovery and advancement, you know? We're in fact so excited that we don't even take the time to discuss or debate the moral dilemmas and implications of new technology. Sure, we're still in control of technology now, but does there come a time when we're not? Who will be the one that says turn it off? When do things go wrong?

I don't see anyone at Google or in the government or anyone at the forefront of technology boom that is contemplating the ethics and morality issues. Now that is a truly scary thought that doesn't come in a movie. ~ Glenn Beck
Morality And Ethics quotes by Glenn Beck
Human beings are not inevitable, and our brief existence is not preordained to be extended into the distant future. If Homo sapiens is to have a continued presence on earth, humankind will reevaluate its sense of place in the world and modify its strong species-centric stewardship of the planet. Our collective concepts of morality and ethics have a direct impact on our species' ultimate fate. ~ Jeff Schweitzer
Morality And Ethics quotes by Jeff Schweitzer
Ethics is the activity of man directed to secure the inner perfection of his own personality. ~ Albert Schweitzer
Morality And Ethics quotes by Albert Schweitzer
Ethics is in origin the art of recommending to others the sacrifices required for cooperation with oneself. ~ Bertrand Russell
Morality And Ethics quotes by Bertrand Russell
It is customary these days to ignore what should be done in favour of what pleases us. ~ Plautus
Morality And Ethics quotes by Plautus
Don't be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Morality And Ethics quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Without morality and ethics there is no religion (dharma), the foundation of religion is morality and ethics. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Morality And Ethics quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Thieving was not a sheer absurdity. It was a form of human industry, perverse indeed, but still an industry exercised in an industrious world; it was work undertaken for the same reason as the work in potteries, in coal mines, in fields, in tool-grinding shops. It was labour, whose practical difference from the other forms of labour consisted in the nature of its risk, which did not lie in ankylosis, or lead poisoning, or fire-damp, or gritty dust, but in what may be briefly defined in its own special phraseology as "Seven years' hard". Chief Inspector Heat was, of course, not insensible to the gravity of moral differences. But neither were the thieves he had been looking after. They submitted to the severe sanction of a morality familiar to Chief Inspector Heat with a certain resignation. They were his fellow citizens gone wrong because of imperfect education, Chief Inspector Heat believed; but allowing for that difference, he could understand the mind of a burglar, because, as a matter of fact, the mind and the instincts of a burglar are of the same kind as the mind and the instincts of a police officer. Both recognize the same conventions, and have a working knowledge of each other's methods and of the routine of their respective trades. They understand each other, which is advantageous to both, and establishes a sort of amenity in their relations. Products of the same machine, one classed as useful and the other as noxious, they take the machine for granted in different w ~ Joseph Conrad
Morality And Ethics quotes by Joseph Conrad
The greatest men stand on their values and pray on their knees. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Morality And Ethics quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Integrity, probity, ethics and transparency is needed but most important is the culture of discipline ~ Vinod Rai
Morality And Ethics quotes by Vinod Rai
This is someone who has a very stringent morality, and believes the system works, and has been deeply, deeply disappointed, and hurt, by it. You know, so she's in a very different place in life. ~ Julianne Moore
Morality And Ethics quotes by Julianne Moore
To me, it really seems visible today that ethics is not something exterior to the economy, which, as technical matter, could function on its own; rather, ethics is an interior principle of the economy itself, which cannot function if it does not take account of the human values of solidarity and reciprocal responsibility. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Morality And Ethics quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Mrs. HOWE (Julia Ward)–Wife of Dr. Howe, of Boston, famous as a teacher of the deaf and dumb. This lady is here,
giving a course of private lectures, on quaint subjects - e. g. "moral triganometry [sic]" alias "practical ethics."
I dined with her, by special invitation, at Mr. Eames' - She is a smart, educated, traveled lady, a little touched, 'tis thought, with strong-mindedness. Complacent, and well satisfied with her peculiar theories. ~ Howard K. Beale
Morality And Ethics quotes by Howard K. Beale
Our sufferings have taught us that no nation is sufficient unto itself, and that our prosperity depends in the long run, not upon the failures of our neighbors but their successes. ~ John Buchan
Morality And Ethics quotes by John Buchan
Morality, as far as I could see, originates in atheism and the realization that no higher power is coming along to feed the hungry or lift the fallen. Mercy is left entirely to us. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Morality And Ethics quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
Under the discipline of unity, knowledge and morality come together. No longer can we have that paltry 'objective' knowledge so prized by the academic specialists. To know anything at all becomes a moral predicament. Aware that there is no such thing as a specialized effect, one becomes responsible for judgments as well as facts. Aware that as an agricultural scientist he had 'one great subject,' Sir Albert Howard could no longer ask, What can I do with what I know? without at the same time asking, How can I be responsible for what I know? ~ Wendell Berry
Morality And Ethics quotes by Wendell Berry
Stargazing is one of the most profoundly human things one can do. But perhaps we must more frequently tear ourselves away from the mystery and beauty of the starry heavens above, and rather inspect, admire and foster the moral law within. ~ Jack Gleeson
Morality And Ethics quotes by Jack Gleeson
Only sometimes when we pick and choose among the rules we discover later that we have set aside something precious in the process. ~ Helen Simonson
Morality And Ethics quotes by Helen Simonson
We have become the revisionist society. We rewrite history in favor of viewpoints. We rewrite ethics in favor of "what's right is what makes you feel good after." Political correctness puts Jesus and Buddha on the same low shelf. Gender inclusivity has us tied up in proper pronouns. Since God goes undefined, His expectations have been missing for some time, and sin is what you do that hurts others. ~ Calvin Miller
Morality And Ethics quotes by Calvin Miller
I found that Nancy had a very advanced formulation of equity, ethics, and morals. It was as exceptional as it was different from the ideas usually held in connection with "proper" behavior and---in my opinion--- of a much higher order. It was free of hypocrisy!

Once when I needed friends very badly I found that Nancy was the most steadfast, generous, and unselfish friend that I had. I'm not ashamed to say that her conduct was touching to the point of tears. If such qualities were not unique they certainly were most unhappily rare.

On Nancy Cunard ~ Hilaire Hiler
Morality And Ethics quotes by Hilaire Hiler
Can't you just relax," she asked him, "just for a little while?"
"The rules - "
"Everyone else - "
"I cannot be everyone else!" Dalinar said, more sharply than he intended. "If I ignore our code and ethics, what am I, Navani? The other highprinces and lighteyes deserve recrimination for what they do, and I have let them know it. If I abandon my principles, then I become something far worse than they. A hypocrite! ~ Brandon Sanderson
Morality And Ethics quotes by Brandon Sanderson
I think I am against stereotype. Generally, Asian guys are more quiet - they study and have a good work ethic. Generally, I have none of those things. ~ Bobby Lee
Morality And Ethics quotes by Bobby Lee
The evolution of the human brain is inextricably interwoven with the expansion of culture and the emergence of language. Thus, it is no coincidence that human beings are story tellers. Through countless generations, humans have gathered to listen to stories of the hunt, the exploits of their ancestors, and morality tales of good and evil...Thus, I believe that both the urge to tell a tale and our vulnerability to being captivate by one are deeply woven into the structures of our brains ~ Louis Cozolino
Morality And Ethics quotes by Louis Cozolino
Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, are things Christ unsparingly condemned. Destitute of fire, they are nothing more than a godless philosophy, an ethical system, and a superstition. ~ Samuel Chadwick
Morality And Ethics quotes by Samuel Chadwick
I don't trust a man who talks about ethics when he is picking my pocket. But if he is acting in his own self-interest and says so, I have usually been able to work out some way to do business with him. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Morality And Ethics quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
We criticize Americans for not being able either to analyse or conceptualize. But this is a wrong-headed critique. It is we who imagine that everything culminates in transcendence, and that nothing exists which has not been conceptualized. Not only do they care little for such a view, but their perspective is the very opposite: it is not conceptualizing reality, but realizing concepts and materializing ideas, that interests them. The ideas of the religion and enlightened morality of the eighteenth century certainly, but also dreams, scientific values, and sexual perversions. Materializing freedom, but also the unconscious. Our phantasies around space and fiction, but also our phantasies of sincerity and virtue, or our mad dreams of technicity. Everything that has been dreamt on this side of the Atlantic has a chance of being realized on the other. They build the real out of ideas. We transform the real into ideas, or into ideology. ~ Jean Baudrillard
Morality And Ethics quotes by Jean Baudrillard
What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more: ~ William Shakespeare
Morality And Ethics quotes by William Shakespeare
More than that, the doctrine of vocation amounts to a comprehensive doctrine of the Christian life, having to do with faith and sanctification, grace and good works. It is a key to Christian ethics. It shows how Christians can influence their culture. It transfigures ordinary, everyday life with the presence of God. ~ Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Morality And Ethics quotes by Gene Edward Veith Jr.
Loving comfort, risking little, terrified by the thought of change, (the middle class') aim is to establish a materialistic civilization which will banish threats to its complacency. It has conventions, not ideals; it is washed rather than clean. Thus the final degradation of the Baconian philosophy is that knowledge becomes power in the service of appetite. ~ Richard M. Weaver
Morality And Ethics quotes by Richard M. Weaver
In the conditions of the proletariat, those of old society at large are already virtually swamped. The proletarian is without property; his relation to his wife and children has no longer anything in common with the bourgeois family-relations; modern industrial labour, modern subjection to capital, the same in England as in France, in America as in Germany, has stripped him of every trace of national character. Law, morality, religion, are to him so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois interests. ~ Friedrich Engels
Morality And Ethics quotes by Friedrich Engels
Our moral faculties must be placed highest, else they can no more flourish than could a plant growing under the shade and drip of trees. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Morality And Ethics quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
She ate the apple and gave it also to Adam who had not the moral courage to resist her. ~ James Joyce
Morality And Ethics quotes by James Joyce
Where no guiding ideals are left to point the way, the scale of values disappears and with it the meaning of our deeds and sufferings, and at the end can lie only negation and despair. Religion is therefore the foundation of ethics, and ethics the presupposition of life. ~ Werner Heisenberg
Morality And Ethics quotes by Werner Heisenberg
In a sense, this is so obvious that it seems silly to have to say it. But given the commonly accepted views on morality - from the biblical tenet: "Judge not that ye be not judged" to the relativist mantra: "Who are you to judge?" - not only does it have to be mentioned; it has to be stressed. Judging people rationally and treating them accordingly is a requirement of human life. While ~ Craig Biddle
Morality And Ethics quotes by Craig Biddle
I have chosen two concepts to guide my thoughts and actions. They are stronger than the pressure of society, the constraints of morality, the need to procreate, desire for wealth, the promise of Heaven, or the threat of Hell. I live for love and pleasure, or nothing at all. ~ Gamal Hennessy
Morality And Ethics quotes by Gamal Hennessy
For this equilibrium now in sight, let us trust that mankind, as it has occurred in the greatest periods of its past, will find for itself a new code of ethics, common to all, made of tolerance, of courage, and of faith in the Spirit of men. ~ Albert Claude
Morality And Ethics quotes by Albert Claude
I am an atheist and that's it. I believe there's nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for other people. ~ Katharine Hepburn
Morality And Ethics quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Take it from me, whenever you see a bunch of buggers puttering around talking about truth and beauty and the best way of attacking Ethics, you can bet your sandals it's all because dozens of other poor buggers are doing all the real work around the place. ~ Terry Pratchett
Morality And Ethics quotes by Terry Pratchett
I took in a foster kid that I wanted to adopt in the state where I live, and I pay taxes, said to me, based on not your morality, not on how good you are as a mother, not on how much you've given to foster kids in Florida, based on the facts that you're in love with a woman, you can't keep her. ~ Rosie O'Donnell
Morality And Ethics quotes by Rosie O'Donnell
Women's liberty", "women's independence" are words on everybody's lips these days, but they stay on the lips and don't go any further. Do you know why? I've found out that liberty can be obtained neither by theoretical arguments, nor by pleading justice and morality, nor by staging a concerted quarrel with men at a meeting. It's something that no one can give to another - not something to be owed or paid as a due..you can easily understand that it comes of its own accord - through one's own fulfillment, by the enlargement of one's own soul. ~ Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
Morality And Ethics quotes by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
Law is an imperfect profession in which success can rarely be achieved without some sacrifice of principle. Thus all practicing lawyers
and most others in the profession
will necessarily be imperfect, especially in the eyes of young idealists. There is no perfect justice, just as there is no absolute in ethics. But there is perfect injustice, and we know it when we see it. ~ Alan Dershowitz
Morality And Ethics quotes by Alan Dershowitz
The animals themselves are incapable of demanding their own liberation, or of protesting against their condition with votes, demonstrations, or bombs. Human beings have the power to continue to oppress other species forever, or until we make this planet unsuitable for living beings. Will our tyranny continue, proving that we really are the selfish tyrants that the most cynical of poets and philosophers have always said we are? Or will we rise to the challenge and prove our capacity for genuine altruism by ending our ruthless exploitation of the species in our power, not because we are forced to do so by rebels or terrorists, but because we recognize that our position is morally indefensible? The way in which we answer this question depends on the way in which each one of us, individually, answers it. ~ Peter Singer
Morality And Ethics quotes by Peter Singer
Thus, seeking to produce a typology of forms of the art of government, La Mothe Le Vayer, in a text from the following century (consisting of educational writings intended for the French Dauphin), says that there are three fundamental types of government, each of which relates to a particular science or discipline: the art of self-government, connected with morality; the art of properly governing a family, which belongs to economy; and finally the science of ruling the state, which concerns politics. What matters, notwithstanding this typology, is that the art of government is always characterized by the essential continuity of one type with the other, and of second type with the third. ~ Michel Foucault
Morality And Ethics quotes by Michel Foucault
Aristotle's position on anger is that it is one of the most complex and distinctive of the human emotions, that it involves bodily, psychological, social, and moral dimensions, and that anger can and ought to be felt and acted upon in a number of right ways. ~ Gregory Sadler
Morality And Ethics quotes by Gregory Sadler
In the end, only God can see the heart of an individual and distinguish the difference between legalistic deadweight and the passion of holy solemnity. ~ Criss Jami
Morality And Ethics quotes by Criss Jami
Speak to meat eaters the way you would speak to a wild animal: softly and without any sudden movements. ~ Carol J. Adams
Morality And Ethics quotes by Carol J. Adams
I wouldn't think of my characters' moralities at all. And I think I identify fully with every main character I've written about and would say that I am them pretty much. So in terms of that I don't think I'm similar to Bret Easton Ellis . ~ Tao Lin
Morality And Ethics quotes by Tao Lin
And here I always thought morality was useless ~ Jeff Lindsay
Morality And Ethics quotes by Jeff Lindsay
To become a lawyer you must discard your ethics and become an eloquent devil that views justice as god. ~ Kane Morgan
