1. The most moral people are those who are satisfied without having to show it externally. ——Plato

Selected famous quotes about public morality

2. Only when class antagonisms are not only eliminated, but also such antagonisms are forgotten in real life. At this stage, a truly human morality becomes possible that transcends class antagonisms and transcends the memories of such antagonisms. ——Engels

3. Morality is an acquisition—like music, like foreign languages, like piety poker and paralysis—no one is born with morality. ——Mark Twain

4. Moral behavior training is not through language influence, but to allow children to practice good moral behavior and overcome bad behaviors such as laziness, rashness, undiscipline, and decadence. ——Comenius

5. There are two things. The more times I think about them and the longer I think about them, the more they fill me with ever-new and ever-increasing wonder and seriousness. Feeling, that is the starry sky above my head and the moral law in my heart. ——Kant

6. There are two kinds of Christian morality, one is private morality and the other is public morality. These two moralities are so different, so unrelated, that they have as little to do with each other as the archangel and the politician. For three hundred and sixty-three days of the year the citizen of the United States abides by his Christian virtues, keeping the perfect character of his country pure and unblemished; then, for the remaining two days, he leaves his Christian virtues at home...with all his might to undermine and destroy him. A full year of faithful and legitimate work. ——Mark Twain

7. Only kind-hearted people can easily accept the influence of morality. If anyone has not received a kind education, has not experienced the joy of doing good to others, and does not feel that he is a strong and brave defender of true and beautiful things, he cannot become a like-minded person in the collective. ——Suhomlinsky

8. Many moralists have said that among all the evil deeds of people, pride is the most evil. It appears in various forms, and in extreme cases. Hidden under a complicated camouflage, that camouflage is like the layer of veil that covers up the moonlight. It is both the brilliance of the moon and the shadow of the moon. Although it can hide the moon from our sight, it is also called because it cannot hide it completely. The moon reveals itself. ——Samuel Johnson

9. A bud or bud of virtue. This is the most precious virtue and the mother of all morals. This is humility; with this virtue we will know how to be humble. Endless fun.

——Galdos
