"...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.
"A good conscience is a continual Christmas."
Benjamin Franklin
"A little neglect may breed great mischief."
Benjamin Franklin
"A man does what he must, in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures, and that is the basis of all human morality."
John F. Kennedy
"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
"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
"A man's very highest moment is, I have no doubt at all, when he kneels in the dust, and beats his breast, and tells all the sins of his life."
Oscar Wilde
"A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected."
George Bernard Shaw
"A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is... A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in."
C.S. Lewis
"Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest."
Mark Twain
"America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist."
Edmund Burke
"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
George Washington
"As soon as one is unhappy one becomes moral."
Marcel Proust
"Bad men are full of repentance."
Aristotle
"Bad men cannot make good citizens. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience are incompatible with freedom."
Patrick Henry
"Badness is only spoiled goodness."
C.S. Lewis
"Boredom is a vital problem for the moralist, since at least half the sins of mankind are caused by the fear of it."
Bertrand Russell
"Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses and avoids."
Aristotle
"Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking."
Henry Mencken
