"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
"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
"There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Those who forget good and evil and seek only to know the facts are more likely to achieve good than those who view the world through the distorting medium of their own desires."
Bertrand Russell
"If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble."
Nachman of Bratslav
"The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back."
Abigail Van Buren
"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That�s my religion."
Abraham Lincoln
"The good people sleep much better at night than the bad people. Of course, the bad people enjoy the waking hours much more."
Woody Allen
"Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other 'sins' are invented nonsense."
Robert Heinlein
"Live so that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip."
Will Rogers
"If devotion to truth is the hallmark of morality, then there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking...the alleged short-cut to knowledge, which is faith, is only a short-circuit destroying the mind."
Ayn Rand
"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
"When we played softball, I'd steal second base, feel guilty and go back."
Woody Allen
"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
"Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it."
Baltasar Gracian
"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
"I shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day."
Albert Camus
"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
"A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever."
Jesse Jackson
"The devil made me do it the first time, and after that I did it on my own."
Robert Fulghum
