In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Christianity, Morality
In every ascetic morality man worships a part of himself as God and for that he needs to diabolize the other part.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Morality
Our whole life is startlingly moral. There is never an instant’s truce between virtue and vice.
Henry David Thoreau – Morality, Virtue, Vice
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. So aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
Henry David Thoreau – Morality
The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.
Oscar Wilde – Morality, Books
I have to live for others and not for myself; that’s middle class morality.
George Bernard Shaw – Morality
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 – Morality
I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.
Thomas Jefferson on morality
All systems of morality are based on the idea that an action has consequences that legitimize or cancel it. A mind imbued with the absurd merely judges that those consequences must be considered calmly.
