Albert Einstein in a letter 11/20/50
The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and dignity to life.
|
Aristotle
We become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions.
|
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
Because you're able to do it and because you have the right to do it doesn't mean it's right to do it.

Gary Ryan Blair Mind Munchies : A Delicious Assortment of Brain Snacks!
When it comes to practicing good ethics, saying no to a vice is not good enough. A quality life is never achieved by focusing on the elimination of what is wrong. True success requires you to focus your mental, emotional, and spiritual energies on pursuing that which is right and good. Trying to become virtuous merely by excluding vice is as unrealistic as trying to cultivate roses simply by eliminating weeds.

Gloria Steinem
The act of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
|
Hubert Humphrey speech, 1977
The moral test of government is how it treats those who are in the dawn of life--the children; those who are in the twilight of life--the aged; and those who are in the shadows of life--the sick, the needy and the handicapped.
|
Irving Kristol
People need religion. It's a vehicle for a moral tradition. A crucial role. Nothing can take its place.

Jacques Cousteau interview, CNN, 2/24/89
Without ethics, everything happens as if we were all five billion passengers on a big machinery and nobody is driving the machinery. And it's going faster and faster, but we don't know where.
|
Jane Addams
Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.
|
John F. Kennedy
The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment, but it is no less than a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. People do what they must--in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures--and that is the basis of all human morality.
|
Manly Hall
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
