"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
"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
"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. That�s my religion."
Abraham Lincoln
"He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own."
Aesop
"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 shall tell you a great secret my friend. Do not wait for the last judgement, it takes place every day."
Albert Camus
"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."
Alexander Hamilton
"Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame."
Alexander Pope
"Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith."
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
"He was as great as a man can be without morality."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"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
"Bad men are full of repentance."
Aristotle
"It is best to rise from life as from a banquet, neither thirsty nor drunken."
Aristotle
"Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts."
Aristotle
"Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids."
Aristotle
"...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."
Armand Nicholi Jr.
"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
"Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it."
Baltasar Gracian
"A little neglect may breed great mischief."
Benjamin Franklin
