"Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men."
George Patton
"Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others."
Oscar Wilde
"The sick do not ask if the hand that smoothes their pillow is pure, nor the dying care if the lips that touch their brow have known the kiss of sin."
Oscar Wilde
"The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future."
Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde
"As soon as one is unhappy one becomes moral."
Marcel Proust
"If only for the sake of elegance, I try to remain morally pure."
Marcel Proust
"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
"He was as great as a man can be without morality."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"Would you live with ease? Do what you ought, not what you please."
Benjamin Franklin
"There is one thing alone that stands the brunt of life throughout its course: a quiet conscience."
Euripides
"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 noble to be good; it is still nobler to teach others to be good - and less trouble."
Mark Twain
"I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man."
Thomas Jefferson
"Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom."
Patrick Henry
"Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame."
Alexander Pope
"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
"Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking."
Henry Mencken
