Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Morality is only moral when it is voluntary.
The true basis of morality is utility; that is, the adaptation of our actions to the promotion of the general welfare and happiness; the endeavour so to rule our lives that we may serve and bless mankind.
Morality is not just any old topic in psychology but close to our conception of the meaning of life. Moral goodness is what gives each of us the sense that we are worthy human beings.
Morality must relate, at some level, to the well-being of conscious creatures. If there are more and less effective ways for us to seek happiness and to avoid misery in this world - and there clearly are - then there are right and wrong answers to questions of morality.
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.
Morality is a test of our conformity rather than our integrity.
Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
One of the standards on which your happiness is based, now and in your future, is moral purity.
I saw that all beings are fated to happiness: action is not life, but a way of wasting some force, an enervation. Morality is the weakness of the brain.
