Every society rests in the last resort on the recognition of common principles and common ideals, and if it makes no moral or spiritual appeal to the loyalty of its members, it must inevitably fall to pieces. Christopher Dawson
Conservatism vests in and depends on the widespread, informed understanding of human nature, self-governance and the First Principle of Progress: free people interacting in free markets produce the greatest good for the greatest number always, but only, when tethered to virtue and morality. Mary Matalin
Money motivates neither the best people, nor the best in people. It can move the body and influence the mind, but it cannot touch the heart or move the spirit; that is reserved for belief, principle, and morality. Dee Hock
Kenzaburo Oe quote: "The Japanese chose the principle of eternal peace as the basis..."
The Japanese chose the principle of eternal peace as the basis of morality for our rebirth after the War. Kenzaburo Oe
The 'morality of compromise' sounds contradictory. Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat. Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised. Andrew Carnegie
If living by these sets of morals and principles and wanting to help better my land, better my country, my community, my team, my environment and helping the next person help themselves, if that's considered crazy, then I'm a crazy. Luke Scott
Albert Schweitzer quote: "Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of..."
Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality. Albert Schweitzer
The individual makes a clear effort to define moral values and principles that have validity and application apart from the authority of the groups of persons holding them and apart from the individual's own identification with the group. Lawrence Kohlberg
