What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.

It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.

Forgiveness is not a feeling – it’s a decision we make because we want to do what’s right before God. It’s a quality decision that won’t be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all – the apathy of human beings.

I’m an emotional person.

Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Whoever has witnessed another’s ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience.

Hatred is an affair of the heart; contempt that of the head.

One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.

I think God gives every one of us our own will, and unfortunately, some people choose to do evil things with it.

A relationship can give you a gut wrenching feeling sometimes. It’s a real emotional ride.

I just know what is right and I want to do what is right.

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.

I am certain no one sets out to be cruel, but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society, we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.

In my view, the only thing worse than a rock star is a rock star with a conscience.

Doctors will have more lives to answer for in the next world than even we generals.

The story being told in ‚Star Wars‘ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.

Every fact is related on one side to sensation, and, on the other, to morals. The game of thought is, on the appearance of one of these two sides, to find the other: given the upper, to find the under side.

In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I’m always going to feel everything. It’s my nature.

The 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.

Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

Any man may easily do harm, but not every man can do good to another.

If you’re in favour of any policy – reform, revolution, stability, regression, whatever – if you’re at least minimally moral, it’s because you think it’s somehow good for people. And good for people means conforming to their fundamental nature.

Better than worshiping gods is obedience to the laws of righteousness.

On some positions, Cowardice asks the question, ‚Is it safe?‘ Expediency asks the question, ‚Is it politic?‘ And Vanity comes along and asks the question, ‚Is it popular?‘ But Conscience asks the question, ‚Is it right?‘

God is speaking to us. But are we listening to Him? When our conscience begins to nudge us for whatever reason, we might have this low-level misery or uneasiness about whatever it is we’ve done or we’re about to do. At times like this, it’s wise to prayerfully consider whether we’re offending God with our actions.

I have to live for others and not for myself: that’s middle-class morality.

False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil.

No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expedience.

A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

When a man assumes a public trust he should consider himself a public property.

I would never do a commercial if I thought it was offensive to anyone.

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.

Sin, also for those who don’t have faith, exists when one goes against one’s conscience. To listen to and obey it means, in fact, to decide in face of what is perceived as good or evil. And on this decision pivots the goodness or malice of our action.

Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.

High moral character is not a precondition for great moral accomplishments.

Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it’s to have any meaning in this world – and stop being its apologist.

A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.

Charity creates a multitude of sins.

I don’t use Twitter for bad.

Because 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.

Nothing can affect my voice, it’s so bad.

The word ‚good‘ has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.

As we know, while our species remains alive, everybody has the sacred duty to be optimistic. Ethically, any other behaviour wouldn’t be admissible.

States are not moral agents.

I’m a movie maker, but I have the same feelings as the average guy out there.

I just usually go with my own taste. If I like something, and it happens to be against the law, well, then I might have a problem.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

Religious faith, like political belief, should be based on reasoning, on the development of thought and feelings. The two things are inseparable.

There is a moral obligation that those who have should give to those who don’t.

In honorable dealing you should consider what you intended, not what you said or thought.

You cannot be in a position of power and destroy the life of another person.

A puritan is a person who pours righteous indignation into the wrong things.

Force always attracts men of low morality.

Justice… is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

Anything I’ve ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.

A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.

It’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.

The thing that alarms me is that there are so many clergymen who say that the so-called ‚new morality‘ is all right. They say we’re living in a new generation; let’s be relevant, let’s change God’s law. Let’s say that adultery is all right under certain circumstances; fornication’s all right under certain circumstances. If it’s ‚meaningful.‘
