"Sin is its own punishment."
Saint Augustine
"Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible."
Saint Augustine
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."
Albert Einstein
"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him."
Booker T. Washington
"...I hope that we will hear no more of all ways of life and all cultures being equally valid, which none of us truly believes but which many people mouth in order to appear broad-minded and generous of spirit."

"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
Mother Teresa
"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
"Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest."
Mark Twain
"To sit alone with my conscience will be judgment enough for me."
Charles William Stubbs
"Duty is what one expects from others."
Oscar Wilde
"Many a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street."
Elbert Hubbard
"I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"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 one's conscience tells one that it is right."
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."
Saint Augustine
"Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo."
H.G. Wells
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
Samuel Johnson
"Badness is only spoiled goodness."
C.S. Lewis
"Whenever you find a man who says he doesn't believe in a real Right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later."
C.S. Lewis
"The Moral Law tells us the tune we have to play: our instincts are merely the keys."
C.S. Lewis
"You find out more about God from the Moral Law than from the univerise in general just as you find out more about a man by listening to his conversation than by looking at a house he has built."
C.S. Lewis
