Top Morality Philosophy Quotes

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Steven J. Carroll

A decent life, even a short life, will always be far better than an exceptionally long life lived in ruin. — Steven J. Carroll

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Leo Tolstoy

It occurred to him that his scarcely perceptible attempts to struggle against what was considered good by the most highly placed people, those scarcely noticeable impulses which he had immediately suppressed, might have been the real thing, and all the rest false. — Leo Tolstoy

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Immanuel Kant

Only the descent into the hell of self-knowledge can pave the way to godliness. — Immanuel Kant

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Wisdom is the essence of education. Kindness is the essence of morality. — Debasish Mridha

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Thomas Jefferson

As you say of yourself, I too am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us.
[Letter to William Short, 31 October 1819] — Thomas Jefferson

Morality Philosophy Quotes By African Spir

The divine element manifests itself (or show up) in man as well by his aptitude for science, than by his aptitude for virtue. True morality, true philosophy and true art are in their essence ("dans leur essence", Fr.) religious. — African Spir

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Reid A. Ashbaucher

Morality is totally God's standard, and his standards and conditions are revealed to us through his written word, the Scriptures (The Bible). — Reid A. Ashbaucher

Morality Philosophy Quotes By G.E. Moore

Good, then, is indefinable.... — G.E. Moore

Morality Philosophy Quotes By James Crumley

Son, never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl. — James Crumley

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Luke Myer

The sign of a good conscience is for a man to be in support of basically everything that Westboro Baptist isn't. — Luke Myer

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

This, in every hour and every issue, is your basic moral choice: thinking or non-thinking, existence or non-existence, A or non-A, entity or zero. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Erving Goffman

Individuals are concerned not
with the moral issue of realizing these standards, but with
the amoral issue of engineering a convincing impression that
these standards are being realized. Our activity, then, is
largely concerned with moral matters, but as performers we
do not have a moral concern in these moral matters. As
performers we are merchants of morality. Our day is given
over to intimate contact with the goods we display and our
minds are filled with intimate understandings of them; but it
may well be that the more attention we give to these goods,
th e more d is ta n t we feel from them and from those who are
believing enough to buy them. To use a different imagery,
the very obligation and profitablility of appearing always in
a steady moral light, of being a socialized character, forces
us to be the sort of person who is practiced in the ways of
the stage. — Erving Goffman

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Mencius

A man must not be without shame, for the shame of being without shame is shamelessness indeed. — Mencius

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Plato

The worst type of man behaves as badly in his waking life as some men do in their dreams. — Plato

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Marty Rubin

We have to get over the idea that there's some right way to live. — Marty Rubin

Morality Philosophy Quotes By G.E. Moore

....it seems to me that a pleasurable Contemplation of Beauty has certainly an immeasurably greater value than mere Consciousness of Pleasure. — G.E. Moore

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Frederic Bastiat

I can never look at these apparent contradictions between the great laws of nature without a feeling of physical uneasiness which amounts to suffering. Were mankind reduced to the necessity of choosing between two parties, one of whom injures his interest, and the other his conscience, we should have nothing to hope from the future. Happily, this is not the case; and to see Aristus regain his economical superiority, as well as his moral superiority, it is sufficient to understand this consoling maxim, which is no less true from having a paradoxical appearance, "To save is to spend. — Frederic Bastiat

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Munendra Dwivedi

By telling lie you can hide the truth, but u can't reject it. — Munendra Dwivedi

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Often morality defines our inner philosophy. — Debasish Mridha

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Dennis Prager

We measure morality by what happens. Not what is intended. — Dennis Prager

Morality Philosophy Quotes By C.L. Wilson

But the Dark cannot claim what Light does not surrender. — C.L. Wilson

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Aldous Huxley

In silence, an act is an act is an act. Verbalized and discussed, it becomes an ethical problem ... — Aldous Huxley

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Love for the humanity is the basis for morality. — Debasish Mridha

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Kelli Jae Baeli

If I say I do not believe in faeries or elves or trolls, does this imply that I have a set of beliefs and a lifestyle that adheres to this lack of belief? NO, IT ONLY IMPLIES that I do not believe in faeries, elves and trolls. So one cannot extrapolate morality, philosophy, cosmology, character, political party, or any other thing of that sort from the mere lack of belief in one other thing. — Kelli Jae Baeli

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

The anti-mind is the anti-life. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

Every means hitherto employed with the intention of making mankind moral has been thoroughly immoral. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Michel Templet

In a truly moral society, most of our current laws would not exist. — Michel Templet

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Matthew Quick

He was trying to make us think about how life is hard and people suffer in all sorts of ways without our adding to their suffering to satisfy our sense of vengeance, but I sort of don't think that the quote holds up in the real world, where literature and schooling and philosophy and morality don't exist, because Asher and Linda and so many other culpable people seem to be fine - functioning exceptionally well within the world even - while I'm under a disgusting bridge about to put a hole in my skull. — Matthew Quick

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Steven D. Levitt

If morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work. — Steven D. Levitt

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Criss Jami

Christianity is at its purest a philosophy about a person, Jesus Christ, and at its dirtiest a philosophy about requirements and law. — Criss Jami

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Novalis

Genius in general is poetic. Where genius has been active it has been poetically active. The truly moral person is a poet. — Novalis

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Pope Benedict XVI

Christianity is not a new philosophy or new morality. We are Christians only if we encounter Christ ... Only in this personal relationship with Christ, only in this encounter with the Risen One do we really become Christians ... Therefore, let us pray to the Lord to enlighten us, so that, in our world, he will grant us the encounter with his presence, and thus give us a lively faith, an open heart, and great charity for all, capable of renewing the world. — Pope Benedict XVI

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Michel Templet

I question the moral integrity of anyone who says they have no regrets. — Michel Templet

Morality Philosophy Quotes By John Marini

Post-modern intellectuals have pronounced their historical judgment on America's past, finding it to be morally indefensible. Every great human achievement of the past - whether in philosophy, religion, literature, or the humanities - came to be understood as a kind of exploitation of the powerless. Rather than allowing the past to be viewed in terms of its aspirations and accomplishments, it has been judged by its failures. The living part of the past is understood in terms slavery, racism, and identity politics. Political correctness arose as the practical and necessary means of enforcing this historical judgment. No public defense of past greatness could be allowed to live in the present. Public morality and public policy would come to be understood in terms of the formerly oppressed. — John Marini

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Alex Stein

Government is a system of morality developed by philosophers and refined by mercenaries. — Alex Stein

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Marquis De Sade

The state of a moral man, is one of tranquillity and peace; the state of an immoral man is one of perpetual unrest. — Marquis De Sade

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

If any morality or ethics does not include kindness as their fundamental ingredient, then they are just an absurdity. — Debasish Mridha

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Abhijit Naskar

Morality does not come to this mortal world from some imaginary paradise. It rises from the neurons of mortal humans. — Abhijit Naskar

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

To think is an act of choice. The key to what you so recklessly call 'human nature,' the open secret you live with, yet dread to name, is the fact that man is a being of volitional consciousness. Reason does not work automatically; thinking is not a mechanical process; the connections of logic are not made by instinct. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

To the extent to which a man is rational, life is the premise directing his actions. To the extent to which he is irrational, the premise directing his actions is death. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By John Chamberlain

As part of "moral philosophy," the concept of "natural liberty" clicks easily into place. Man, as an ethical integer, is either free to choose between good and bad courses within the
limits of his circumstances, or he is not. If he is not free, if he can
only accept what is handed to him from above (by fate, or by decree of the human agents of fate), then there is not much use in talking about morality or ethics. To make any sense of the idea
of morality, it must be presumed that the human being is responsible for his actions-and responsibility cannot be understood apart from the presumption of freedom of choice. — John Chamberlain

Morality Philosophy Quotes By John Stuart Mill

The principle itself of dogmatic religion, dogmatic morality, dogmatic philosophy, is what requires to be booted out; not any particular manifestation of that principle. — John Stuart Mill

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Jonathan Glover

In recent philosophy there has been a growing awareness of the gap between the abstract principles proposed by philosophers and the ways in which people actually think. The kind of rationality admired in the theory of knowledge is idealization. In the real world people have to act on beliefs often based on fragmentary and unreliable evidence. — Jonathan Glover

Morality Philosophy Quotes By John Fraser

There is a common tendency to turn off one's imagination at certain points and refuse to contemplate the possibility of having to do certain things and cope with the attendant moral problems. The things simply get done by the social machine, and one can keep one's clear conscience and one's moral indignation unsullied. — John Fraser

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Mankind could point with pride to this fine flower of the human spirit--if it were not for one thing: namely that God is God and grace is grace. At this point begins the destruction of our illusions and of our cultural enthusiasm, the great destruction which God himself effects, and which the ancient myth of the tower of Babel typifies. 'And if by grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace.' Our way to the eternal is interrupted and we are plunged back into the depths from which we came, with out philosophy and art, our morality and religion. For another way now opens, the way of God to man, the way of revelation and grace, the way of Christ, the way of justification by faith alone. 'My ways are not your ways,' that is the answer now. It is not we who go to God, but God who comes to us. It is not religion that sets us right with God, for God alone can do this; it is his action on which we must depend. — Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Morality Philosophy Quotes By J.S.B. Morse

When people start talking about Right and Left, they stop talking about right and wrong. — J.S.B. Morse

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Morality is often very immoral. — Debasish Mridha

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Sergio Troncoso

A narcissist with power will attempt to prove in the world only what is already in his head. He can't 'see' otherwise. For him, the 'outside world' is not beyond him and does not question or challenge him and his ideas. He is the world. Others will assent to his distorted worldview, because he is powerful, not because he is believable. If he possesses any reflection, that will be exactly what will gnaw at the narcissist with power most of all: his 'truths' are inauthentic, and he is a human being without integrity. The very narcissism and power he possesses prevent him from an ongoing relationship with the truth, which begins with self-humility and the curiosity this can create in a person. — Sergio Troncoso

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Warren Eyster

He would have been careful not to violate his conscience in any way that might keep him from devoting his full attention to the sin he had decided to commit. Pedro was not really very different from all men, at least in that. Not very different from the bank teller who makes sure to give every customer exact change, even while he is embezzling. — Warren Eyster

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Andrew Ryan

I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose ... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well. — Andrew Ryan

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Suzy Kassem

Rights can be considered wrongs, depending on who is judging. — Suzy Kassem

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Lisa M. Lilly

I don't want to become like him. Become one of those people who believe it's okay to do anything to anyone if it achieves the 'right' end. — Lisa M. Lilly

Morality Philosophy Quotes By David Weber

...the one certain thing in life is that no one can make the truth untrue simply because it hurts. — David Weber

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Arthur Conan Doyle

There is a danger there - a very real danger to humanity. Consider, Watson, that the material, the sensual, the worldly would all prolong their worthless lives. The spiritual would not avoid the call to something higher. It would be the survival of the least fit. What sort of cesspool may not our poor world become? — Arthur Conan Doyle

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Criss Jami

If Christ be a fraud, he was among the most peculiar yet brilliant of frauds in saying that only he was the way, the truth, and the life. This is the importance of grace - some people think that simply being nice and not harming others is morality; others think that following rules and tithing are morality. But without Christ, all moral beliefs ultimately boil down to the one sin which perpetually rails against the concept of grace: man's lawful, religious, and futile attempt at establishing his own righteousness. — Criss Jami

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Alain De Botton

The continuing belief that the world is fundamentally just is implied in the very complaint that there has been an injustice. — Alain De Botton

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Kelli Jae Baeli

The supernatural worldview is causing a great number of otherwise intelligent people to cling to a collection of atavistic concepts that have not, and never will serve humanity in any ultimately beneficial way. Any benefits that spirituality ostensibly provides to its adherents, can be found equally in the worldview of philosophy and ethics, communities of other kinds, and so on. It's a myth that the only morality, hope, purpose and comfort to be found, resides only in the supernatural. — Kelli Jae Baeli

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice - and the alternative his nature offers him is: rational being or suicidal animal. Man has to be man - by choice; he has to hold his life as a value - by choice; he has to learn to sustain it - by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues - by choice.
A code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Stefan Molyneux

Improving the world can be a nasty and ugly and difficult and dangerous business ... because when you improve the world, you threaten the entrenched interests of evil people. — Stefan Molyneux

Morality Philosophy Quotes By M.R. Graham

Above all else, above the mechanics, even, a doctor should be thoroughly grounded in morality. — M.R. Graham

Morality Philosophy Quotes By John Stuart Mill

I will call no being good who is not what I mean when I apply that epithet to my fellow creatures; and if such a creature can sentence me to hell for not so calling him, to hell I will go . — John Stuart Mill

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Lorraine Stutzman Amstutz

No one likes to feel used. When the perceived focus becomes the content over the person, people feel used. When teachers are valued only for the test scores of their students, they feel used. When administrators are "successful" only when they achieve "highly effective school" status, they feel used. Eventually, "used" people lose joy in learning and teaching. Curriculum does not teach; teachers do. Standards don't encourage; administrators do. Peaceable schools value personnel and students for who they are as worthy human beings. ... If your mission statement says you care, then specific practices of care should be habits within your school. — Lorraine Stutzman Amstutz

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Frank Jackson

[W]e must start from somewhere in current folk morality, otherwise we start from somewhere unintuitive, and that can hardly be a good place to start — Frank Jackson

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Abhijit Naskar

Morality does not come from a book, it comes from the human mind. — Abhijit Naskar

Morality Philosophy Quotes By David Hume

There is no method of reasoning more common, and yet none more blameable, than, in philosophical disputes, to endeavour the refutation of any hypothesis, by a pretence of its dangerous consequences to religion and morality. When any opinion leads to absurdities, it is certainly false; but it is not certain that an opinion is false, because it is of danger-ous consequence. Such topics, therefore, ought entirely to be forborne; as serving nothing to the discovery of truth, but only to make the person
of an antagonist odious. — David Hume

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Adebowale Ojowuro

The terrible error in the course of human civilization is undoubtedly the defective judgment that allowed religious authorities usurp the foundation of societal morality, in which all collective ethics of humankind must take a cause. This appalling blunder is comparable only to assigning the leper exclusive franchise to run beauty clinics in the society; this can only lead to cycles upon cycles of common infection syndrome. — Adebowale Ojowuro

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Fulton J. Sheen

Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything. — Fulton J. Sheen

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

Man's life is the standard of morality, but your own life is its purpose . If existence on earth is your goal, you must choose your actions and values by the standard of that which is proper to man - for the purpose of preserving, fulfilling and enjoying the irreplaceable value which is your life. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Marcus Aurelius

Be your own master, and look at things as a man, as a human being, as a citizen, as a mortal creature. — Marcus Aurelius

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Antonio Gramsci

The point of modernity is to live a life without illusions while not becoming disillusioned — Antonio Gramsci

Morality Philosophy Quotes By G.E. Moore

Egoism holds, therefore, is that each man's happiness is the sole good--that a number of different things are each of them the only good thing there is--an absolute contradiction! No more complete and thorough refutation of any theory could be desired. — G.E. Moore

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Peter Singer

If 10 percent of the population were to take a consciously ethical outlook on life and act accordingly, the resulting change would be more significant than any change of government, — Peter Singer

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

Non-thinking is an act of annihilation, a wish to negate existence, an attempt to wipe out reality. But existence exists; reality is not to be wiped out, it will merely wipe out the wiper. By refusing to say 'It is,' you are refusing to say 'I am.' By suspending your judgment, you are negating your person. When a man declares: 'Who am I to know?'- he is declaring: 'Who am I to live? — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Iris Murdoch

Even those novelists most commonly deemed "philosophical" have sometimes answered with an emphatic no. Iris Murdoch, the longtime Oxford philosopher and author of some two dozen novels treating highbrow themes like consciousness and morality, argued that philosophy and literature were contrary pursuits. Philosophy calls on the analytical mind to solve conceptual problems in an "austere, unselfish, candid" prose, she said in a BBC interview broadcast in 1978, while literature looks to the imagination to show us something "mysterious, ambiguous, particular" about the world. Any appearance of philosophical ideas in her own novels was an inconsequential reflection of what she happened to know. "If I knew about sailing ships I would put in sailing ships," she said. "And in a way, as a novelist, I would rather know about sailing ships than about philosophy. — Iris Murdoch

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Nancy Pearcey

Morality is always derivative. It stems from one's worldview. — Nancy Pearcey

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

It is a self-deception of philosophers and moralists to imagine that they escape decadence by opposing it. That is beyond their will; and, however little they acknowledge it, one later discovers that they were among the most powerful promoters of decadence. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ambrose Bierce

Academe, n.: An ancient school where morality and philosophy were taught. Academy, n.: A modern school where football is taught. — Ambrose Bierce

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

Yes, this is an age of moral crisis. Yes, you are bearing punishment for your evil. But it is not man who is now on trial and it is not human nature that will take the blame. It is your moral code that's through, this time. Your moral code has reached its climax, the blind alley at the end of its course. And if you wish to go on living, what you now need is not to return to morality - you who have never known any - but to discover it. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Henryk Sienkiewicz

Tell me,' asked Stas, 'what is a wicked deed?' 'If anyone takes away Kali's cow,' he answered after a brief reflection, 'that then is a wicked deed.' 'Excellent!' exclaimed Stas, 'and what is a good one?' This time the answer came without any reflection: 'If Kali takes away the cow of somebody else, that is a good deed.' Stas was too young to perceive that similar views of evil and good deeds were enunciated in Europe not only by politicians but by whole nations. — Henryk Sienkiewicz

Morality Philosophy Quotes By William Winwood Reade

A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality. — William Winwood Reade

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Morality is good when we use it to live our lives but not to hurt anyone. — Debasish Mridha

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ozzy Osbourne

Killing a pig for a good old fry-up is one thing. But there's no excuse for being cruel, even if you're a bored teenage kid. — Ozzy Osbourne

Morality Philosophy Quotes By George Orwell

The citizen of Oceania is not allowed to know anything of the tenets of the other two philosophies, but he is taught to execrate them as barbarous outrages upon morality and common sense. Actually, the three philosophies are barely distinguishable ... — George Orwell

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

Popular medicine and popular morality belong together and ought not to be evaluated so differently as they still are: both are the most dangerous pseudo-sciences. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Immanuel Kant

Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose. — Immanuel Kant

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Immanuel Kant

[It] is nevertheless better than the theological concept, of deriving morality from a divine, all-perfect will, not merely because we do not intuit this perfection, but can derive it solely from our concepts, of which morality is the foremost one, but because if we do not do this (which, if we did, would be a crude circle in explanation), the concept of his will that is left over to us, the attributes of the desire for glory and domination, bound up with frightful representations of power and vengeance, would have to make a foundation for a system of morals that is directly opposed to morality. — Immanuel Kant

Morality Philosophy Quotes By David Hume

It seems then, say I, that you leave politics entirely out of the question, and never suppose, that a wise magistrate can justly be jealous of certain tenets of philosophy, such as those of Epicurus, which, denying a divine existence, and consequently a providence and a future state, seem to loosen, in a great measure, the ties of morality, and may be supposed, for that reason, pernicious to the peace of civil society. — David Hume

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Gustave Flaubert

The morality of art is in its very beauty. — Gustave Flaubert

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Nenia Campbell

You think you're superior to the others, don't you? We'll you're not. In fact you're worse for mistaking basic human decency for moral superiority. — Nenia Campbell

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Stefan Molyneux

Forgiveness is created by the restitution of the abuser; of the wrongdoer. It is not something to be squeeeeeezed out of the victim in a further act of conscience-corrupting abuse. — Stefan Molyneux

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Soren Kierkegaard

If the ethical - that is, social morality - is the highest and if there is in a person no residual incommensurability in some way such that this incommensurability is not evil then no categories are needed other than what Greek philosophy had ... and what their wisdom amounts to is the beautiful proposition that basically everything is the same. — Soren Kierkegaard

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Kahlil Gibran

He who wears his morality but as his best garment were better naked.
The wind and the sun will tear no holes in his skin. — Kahlil Gibran

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

Those who grant sympathy to guilt, grant none to innocence. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Paul Kalanithi

Where did biology, morality, literature, and philosophy intersect? — Paul Kalanithi

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

The moral is the chosen, not the forced; the understood, not the obeyed. The moral is the rational, and reason accepts no commandments. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Ayn Rand

To exist is to be something, as distinguished from the nothing of non-existence, it is to be an entity of a specific nature made of specific attributes. — Ayn Rand

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Immanuel Kant

What is more, we cannot do morality a worse service than by seeing to derive it from examples. Every example of it presented to me must first itself be judged by moral principles in order to decide if it is fit to serve as an original example...even the Holy One of the gospel must first be compared with our ideal of moral perfection before we can recognize him to be such. — Immanuel Kant

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

When, however, you have an enemy, then do not requite him good for evil: for that would shame him. Instead, prove that he did some good for you. And rather be angry than put to shame! And when you are cursed, I do not like it that you want to bless. Rather curse a little also! And if you are done a great injustice, then quickly add five small ones. Hideous to behold is he who is obsessed with an injustice. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Morality Philosophy Quotes By Emmanuel Aghado

Two wrongs' create an additional problem.
'A wrong' plus 'A right' creates a remorse.
'Two rights' create a solution. — Emmanuel Aghado
