As regards moral courage, then, it is not so much that the public schools support it feebly, as that they suppress it firmly.
A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality.
Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of man.
No one can be perfectly free till all are free; no one can be perfectly moral till all are moral; no one can be perfectly happy till all are happy.
So I'm just waiting until one party or the other actually gets a moral compass and a backbone.
I'm saying that the moral climate within the ruling class in this country is not that different from the moral climate within the ruling class of Hitler's Germany.
I like moral judgment to emerge from the reader. We are being sold a very simplistic morality by our leaders at a time when nuance and understanding are at a premium.
I lost my moral compass and I have done terrible things that I very much regret.
The reception has more value than the invitation.
A good neighbor increases the value of your property.
Where there is no bridge the smallest plank is of great value.

In a secular world, which is what most of us in Europe and North America live in, history takes on the role of showing us good and evil, virtues and vices. Religion no longer plays as important a part as it once did in setting moral standards and tra...
This is the result of our choices. Literacy and knowing how to respect oneself beyond being just a marketing tool that is sold every lousy idea and impression of society could easily erase much of the crime. Ideas make us who we are and a person bank...
How did so many women get to this unhappy place of not understanding how truly "simple" men are in their requirements and how much benevolent power their wives have over them? Why did notions like assuaging "male ego" and using "feminine wiles" rocke...
Superior insight into history used to be exhilarating for radicals: if we can see more clearly than the Enemy what is really going on, then we can use this knowledge to advance values. But now the clearer one's insight, the more numbed one becomes. T...
