EpictetusShame may restrain what law does not prohibit.
Lucius Annaeus SenecaThe moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
AristotleIf you can’t answer a man’s arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.
Elbert HubbardA few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls… saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality?
Stephen HawkingThe violence in the Bible is appalling.
Christopher HitchensNothing good ever comes of violence.
Martin LutherEvery art and every inquiry, and similarly every action and choice, is thought to aim at some good; and for this reason the good has rightly been declared to be that at which all things aim.

Will RogersNotifying the enemy in advance of our withdrawal dates or reassuring the enemy that we will not use certain capabilities like our ground forces should be avoided.
Jim MattisI’m mischievous, but I’m calculated.
DrakeWhen I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don’t think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved.
Jimmy CarterWhether you call it Buddhism or another religion, self-discipline, that’s important. Self-discipline with awareness of consequences.

Bertrand RussellTrouble brews when we steal from the poor and give to the rich.

Barack ObamaIf it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.
Marcus AureliusFoolish men imagine that because judgment for an evil thing is delayed, there is no justice; but only accident here below. Judgment for an evil thing is many times delayed some day or two, some century or two, but it is sure as life, it is sure as death.
Thomas CarlyleIt is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.
AristotleI don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

Elvis PresleyLive one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.
Wayne DyerThere is no question that liberals do an impressive job of expressing concern for blacks. But do the intentions expressed in their words match the actual consequences of their deeds?
Thomas SowellNo weapon has ever settled a moral problem. It can impose a solution but it cannot guarantee it to be a just one.
Ernest HemingwayIt’s not that every single thing that happens on Facebook is gonna be good. This is humanity. People use tools for good and bad, but I think that we have a clear responsibility to make sure that the good is amplified and to do everything we can to mitigate the bad.
Mark ZuckerbergTo live outside the law, you must be honest.
Bob DylanConscience is a man’s compass.

Nelson MandelaSadat was a great and good man, and his most bitter and dangerous enemies were people who were obsessed with hatred for his peaceful goals.
Jimmy CarterSo far as I am concerned, I could not be accused of having set eyes, or having wished to set eyes, upon Darius‘ wife: on the contrary, I have refused even to listen to those who spoke to me of her beauty.
Alexander the GreatBecause of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

Henry David ThoreauI do think there should be some regulations on AI.
Elon MuskConsequences are unpitying.
George EliotTo be safe at the expense of the liberty of other people is a difficult equation.
Madeleine AlbrightWhen the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are. The dog is not judging you.
Eckhart TolleWhen you look at a corporation, just like when you look at a slave owner, you want to distinguish between the institution and the individual. So slavery, for example, or other forms of tyranny, are inherently monstrous. The individuals participating in them may be the nicest guys you can imagine.
Noam ChomskyNo evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.
PlatoIf you’re yelling you’re the one who’s lost control of the conversation.
Taylor SwiftFine manners need the support of fine manners in others.

Kanye WestIf you’re going to do something tonight that you’ll be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep late.
Henny YoungmanOften people display a curious respect for a man drunk, rather like the respect of simple races for the insane… There is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.
F. Scott FitzgeraldIf you’re not going to be rewarded for your virtues, and instead you’re going to be punished for them, then what’s your motivation to continue?
Jordan PetersonA President’s hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.
Lyndon B. JohnsonPoverty breeds despair. We know this. Despair breeds violence. We know this. In turbulent times, isn’t it cheaper, and smarter, to make friends out of potential enemies than to defend yourself against them later?
BonoWar is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
Thomas JeffersonTo keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Katharine HepburnThe most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.
William Shakespeare
