"No people can be great who have ceased to be virtuous."
Samuel Johnson
"I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob."
William F. Buckley
"Morality, like numinous awe, is a jump; in it, man goes beyond anything that can be 'given' in the facts of experience."
C.S. Lewis
"Laws are partly formed for the sake of good men, in order to instruct them how they may live on friendly terms with one another, and partly for the sake of those who refuse to be instructed, whose spirit cannot be subdued, or softened, or hindered from plunging into evil."
Plato
"The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught."
Henry Mencken
"Would you live with ease? Do what you ought, not what you please."
Benjamin Franklin
"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men."
George Patton
"When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right."
C.S. Lewis
"The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason."
T.S. Eliot
"To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it."
GK Chesterton
"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo."
H.G. Wells
"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience."
George Washington
"Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids."
Aristotle
"A good conscience is a continual Christmas."
Benjamin Franklin
"You would not call a man humane for ceasing to set mousetraps if he did so because he believed there were no mice in the house."
C.S. Lewis
"Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist."
Edmund Burke
"Everything that used to be a sin is now a disease."
Bill Maher
"Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts."
Ernest Hemingway
"A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures, and that is the basis of all human morality."
John F. Kennedy
"Where there is a lack of honor in government, the morals of the whole people are poisoned."
Herbert Hoover
