"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.
"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
"Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame."
Alexander Pope
"Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"Duty is what one expects from others."
Oscar Wilde
"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil."
C.S. Lewis

Felix Adler
"Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."
Mark Twain

Bill Maher

Saint Augustine
"Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected."
George Washington
"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
"He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own."
Aesop
"He was as great as a man can be without morality."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"Hell is paved with good intentions, not with bad ones. All men mean well."
George Bernard Shaw
"Human beings, all over the earth, have this curious idea that they ought to behave in a certain way, and can't really get rid of it."
C.S. Lewis
"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.
"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
"I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell -- you see, I have friends in both places."
Mark Twain
"I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man."
Thomas Jefferson
