"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience."
George Washington
"Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience."
George Washington
"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
"Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it."
Abraham Lincoln
"Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"Live so that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip."
Will Rogers
"Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street."
Elbert Hubbard
"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men."
George Patton
"Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts."
Aristotle
"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo."
H.G. Wells
"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
"Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it."
Baltasar Gracian
"No people can be great who have ceased to be virtuous."
Samuel Johnson
"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."
Edmund Burke
"Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
C.S. Lewis
"On life's journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him."
Siddhartha Buddha
"Only the sinner has the right to preach."
Christopher Morley
"Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."
Mother Teresa
