Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.

» Karl Kraus (1874-1936) Austrian satirist

Though sages may pour out their wisdom's treasure, there is no sterner moralist than pleasure.

» Lord Byron (1788-1824) British poet and politician

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

» Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) American black leader[ Nobel Peace Prize in1964],

Don't let us make imaginary evils, when you know we have so many real ones to encounter.

» Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993) American protestant preacher and author

There is no such thing as morality or immorality in thought. There is immoral emotion.

» Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) American author and founder of Success magazine

The fatal trait of the times is the divorce between religion and morality.

» Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) Austro-German poet

If your morals make you dreary, depend upon it they are wrong. I do not say ''give them up,'' for they may be all you have; but conceal them like a vice, lest they should spoil the lives of better and simpler people.

» Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American politician and orator

Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine.

» Seneca (5-65) Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, known as Seneca the Younger, son of Seneca the Elder and tutor of Nero

To set up as a standard of public morality a notion which can neither be defined nor conceived is to open the door to every kind of tyranny.

» Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) French novelist and essayist

Unfortunately, moral beauty in art - like physical beauty in a person - is extremely perishable. It is nowhere so durable as artistic or intellectual beauty. Moral beauty has a tendency to decay very rapidly into sententiousness or untimeliness.

» Stendhal (1783-1842) French novelist

We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.

» Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) American inventor

Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.

» Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) British philosopher

The immorality of men triumphs over the amorality of women.

» Karl Kraus (1874-1936) Austrian satirist

The person is always happy who is in the presence of something they cannot know in full. A person as advanced far in the study of morals who has mastered the difference between pride and vanity.

» Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux (1636-1711) French poet and critic

Morality is the attitude we adopt toward people whom we personally dislike.

» Orison Swett Marden (1850-1924) American author and founder of Success magazine

I never come back home with the same moral character I went out with; something or other becomes unsettled where I had achieved internal peace; some one or other of the things I had put to flight reappears on the scene.

» Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) British poet, critic, and philosopher

A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true.

» Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) English author And polymath

The foundation of morality is to have done, once and for all, with lying

» Thomas Fuller (1608-1661) British clergyman and author

I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.
