Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‚Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.‘ I haven’t heard that yet.

It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.

The only objects of practical reason are therefore those of good and evil. For by the former is meant an object necessarily desired according to a principle of reason; by the latter one necessarily shunned, also according to a principle of reason.

The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.

It’s in responsibility that most people find the meaning that sustains them through life. It’s not in happiness. It’s not in impulsive pleasure.

According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.

Above all, always be capable of feeling deeply any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary.

Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.

Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.

There are few things more dishonorable than misleading the young.

I think what’s going on in Guantanamo Bay and other places is a disgrace to the U.S.A. I wouldn’t say it’s the cause of terrorism, but it has given impetus and excuses to potential terrorists to lash out at our country and justify their despicable acts.

Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.

Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.

What is permissible is not always honorable.

Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader.

In the final choice a soldier’s pack is not so heavy as a prisoner’s chains.

Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.

When there’s justice and change, you start to see the cleansing of the soul, and that is what I want for people, and I hope it’s okay for me to say those things.

The more people rationalize cheating, the more it becomes a culture of dishonesty. And that can become a vicious, downward cycle. Because suddenly, if everyone else is cheating, you feel a need to cheat, too.

I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

The more responsibility the Scoutmaster gives his patrol leaders, the more they will respond.

It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.

When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that’s my religion.

And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.

Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.

I know of nothing more despicable and pathetic than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the making of money for money’s sake.

For everything I do, I think about a 6-year-old girl and her mom that I saw at my concert last night. I think about what those two individuals would think if I were at a club last night. I never want to be arrested, and I never want to get a DUI, those are my moral values.

I strongly believe that for serious and violent criminals, we must absolutely hold them accountable for their crimes and send them to prison.
