Decency Quotes

As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency Picture Quote #1

God's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind Picture Quote #1

As a bookish child in Calcutta, I used to thrill to the adventures of bad girls whose pursuit of happiness swept them outside the bounds of social decency. Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Emma Bovary and Anna Karenina lived large in my imagination. The naughty girls of Hollywood films flirted and knew how to drive Picture Quote #1

Britain is still seen as a beacon for decency, for democracy, for vigorous judges upholding the rule of law and, dare I say it, a free press. I respect the press in theory, but when you see some of the things it writes about you, it’s not exactly a happy relationship Picture Quote #1

There can be no compromise with war; it cannot be reformed or controlled; cannot be disciplined into decency or codified into common sense Picture Quote #1

To pursue truth with such astonishing lack of consideration for other people’s feelings, to rend the think veils of civilisation so wantonly, so brutally, was to her so horrible an outrage of human decency that, without replying, dazed and blinded, she bend her head as if to let her pelt f jagged hail, the drench of dirty water, bespatter her unrebuked Picture Quote #1

Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example? Picture Quote #1

No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion; it is an evil government Picture Quote #1

Just what is it that academics have to fear if they stand up for common decency, instead of letting campus barbarians run amok? Picture Quote #1

When once the forms of civility are violated, there remains little hope of return to kindness or decency Picture Quote #1

There’s a sort of decency among the dead, a remarkable discretion: you never find them making any complaint against the doctor who killed them! Picture Quote #1

Love always seeks for betterment, for ways of making life more workable, joyful, whole, and beautiful. Love examines every option available to bring about an improvement in life. This kind of discernment is an act of decency, not an act of judgment. Rigid philosophies of judgment will seek to establish structure as a substitute for decency, control as a substitute for trust, and the mind as a substitute for higher awareness Picture Quote #1

Human rights without responsibility, without a sense of decency, a sense of compassion, is not good enough for a society to flourish... We need to broaden our scope from the legalistic language to the language of the heart Picture Quote #1
