Ethics… redux
.
“Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution.
Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.”
~ Thomas Alva Edison
“There is no such thing as a minor lapse of integrity”
~ Tom Peters
“The only tyrant I accept in this world is the ‘still small voice’ within.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi
“Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.”
~ Albert Schweitzer
“Even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless
if there isn’t the will to do what is right.”
~ Alexander Solzhenitsyn
“In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others.
In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.”
~ Immanuel Kant
“No man can purchase his virtue too dear, for it is the only thing whose value must ever increase with the price it has cost us. Our integrity is never worth so much as when we have parted with our all to keep it.”
~ Ovid
“The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.”
~ Confucius
“It is curious—curious that physical courage should be
so common in the world, and moral courage so rare.”
~ Mark Twain
“Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.”
~ Albert Einstein
