In day-to-day life, you have stimulus to behave unethically, but in the long term, it always pays off to be ethical.

We're coming down to an extremely unethical society. Very few colleges offer courses in ethics, and very few companies have a code of conduct or code of ethics.

The most ethical way to deal with an unethical situation would be to simply say: 'We did something wrong.' But nobody in a family like mine would ever respond like this.

An ethical action, like an unethical action, is usually analyzed by politicians purely in pragmatic terms.

Those ethical choices often are made every day at a time, minute by minute in ways that you may not even relate to ethics, so I'm going to walk them through the whole story from that perspective and hopefully they'll be able to walk away with something good from it.

In any ethical situation, the thing you want least to do is probably the right action.

There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.

It didn't occur to me to go into something that didn't have an ethical return for me.

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

An act has no ethical quality whatever unless it be chosen out of several all equally possible.
