"Arbitrary power is most easily established on the ruins of liberty abused to licentiousness."
George Washington
"If we do not help a man in trouble, it is as if we caused the trouble."
Nachman of Bratslav
"I never believed there was one code of morality for a public and another for a private man."
Thomas Jefferson
"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
"Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest."
Mark Twain
"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him."
Booker T. Washington
"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
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
Samuel Johnson
"I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately."
Mark Twain
"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
"Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking."
Henry Mencken
"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."
Alexander Hamilton
"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."
Mother Teresa
"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.
"So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after."
Ernest Hemingway
"It is noble to be good; it is still nobler to teach others to be good - and less trouble."
Mark Twain
"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
"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis."
Dante Alighieri
"Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody."
Mark Twain
"Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."
Saint Augustine
