"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 devil made me do it the first time, and after that I did it on my own."
Robert Fulghum
"Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other 'sins' are invented nonsense."
Robert Heinlein
"Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."
Saint Augustine
"Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible."
Saint Augustine
"Sin is its own punishment."
Saint Augustine
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
Samuel Johnson
"No people can be great who have ceased to be virtuous."
Samuel Johnson
"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
"The last temptation is the greatest treason: to do the right deed for the wrong reason."
T.S. Eliot
"If I must choose between righteousness and peace, I choose righteousness."
Theodore Roosevelt
"The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad."
Theodore Roosevelt
"It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately."
Thomas Jefferson
"I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man."
Thomas Jefferson
"Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murders. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls."
Victor Hugo
"Toleration is the best religion."
Victor Hugo
"Live so that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip."
Will Rogers
"I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob."
William F. Buckley
"I believe one of the reasons so many do not get a higher education is the fear of their parents that they will lose more morally than they will receive mentally."
William Jennings Bryan
"It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better, while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more."
Woody Allen
