Ethical Quotes

Excellence calls for character... integrity... fairness... honesty... a determination to do what’s right. High ethical standards, across the board Picture Quote #1

Do we, as humans, having an ability to reason and to communicate abstract ideas verbally and in writing, and to form ethical and moral judgments using the accumulated knowledge of the ages, have the right to take the lives of other sentient organisms, particularly when we are not forced to do so by hunger or dietary need, but rather do so for the somewhat frivolous reason that we like the taste of meat? In essence, should we know better? Picture Quote #1

The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children Picture Quote #1

Somehow it must be made plain that the lawyer’s moral judgment is not for hire, that there are occasions when the lawyer... is under a duty to act as a person of independent ethical concern with obligations not only to his client’s interests but also to fairness and justice in the management of affairs Picture Quote #1

I believe this choice is ethical, and what makes it ethical is it is a choice Picture Quote #1

We live in a war of two antagonistic ethical philosophies, the ethical policy taught in the books and schools, and the success policy Picture Quote #1

Literature is an ethical leap. It is a moral decision. A perilous exercise in constant failure. Literature should have grievances, because there are so many grievances in the world Picture Quote #1

Love is the supreme value around which all moral values can be integrated into one ethical system valid for the whole of humanity Picture Quote #1

How can we be trusted with big things if we’re not trustworthy with things that are small? Don’t allow your finer instincts to become a casualty of the little everyday crimes of ethical compromise Picture Quote #1

We can’t achieve excellence through talent alone. Or merely by making technological improvements. We can’t even buy our way to excellence, no matter how much money we have available to spend. More dollars will never do it. We have to develop a strong corporate conscience. Ethical muscle. And that doesn’t happen by accident either Picture Quote #1

Assume that your drive to experience pleasure isn’t a barrier to your spiritual growth, but is in fact essential to it. Proceed on the hypothesis that cultivating joy can make you a more ethical and compassionate person. Imagine that feeling good has something important to teach you every day. What might you do differently from what you do now? Picture Quote #1

It’s not that I believe women are more ethical. I will say that one of women’s greatest weaknesses is probably our greatest strength. We are incredibly hard on each other. We ask all the questions. Men are more easygoing. If you’ve ever been in a group of women, you’ll recognize this: Nobody gives one woman the opportunity to lead the way without asking a whole lot of questions Picture Quote #1

Perhaps most important, judges will have goals. And because this is so, judges will often try to mold and steer the law in order to promote certain ethical values and achieve certain social ends. Such activity is not necessarily wrong or invalid Picture Quote #1

Treating other people as you would like to be treated. It is an ancient, universal ethical imperative. And it requires no supernatural beliefs Picture Quote #1

Scientific theories never dictate human values, but they can often cast new light on ethical issues. From a sexual selection viewpoint, moral philosophy and political theory have mostly been attempts to shift male human sexual competitiveness from physical violence to the peaceful accumulation of wealth and status. The rights to life, liberty, and property are cultural inventions that function, in part, to keep males from killing and stealing from one another while they compete to attract sexual partners Picture Quote #1
