Many a man renounces morals, but with great difficulty the conception, 'morality.' Morality is the 'idea' of morals, their intellectual power, their power over the conscience; on the other hand, morals are too material to rule the mind, and do not fetter an 'intellectual' man, a so-called independent, a 'freethinker.'

Morality is only moral when it is voluntary.

Morals are built on religious faith. Virtue is built on morality and influences a culture.

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human, if one only interprets this correctly.

Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.

Every society and religion has rules, for both have moral laws. And the essence of morality consists, as in art, of drawing the line somewhere.

Morality in its noblest forms remains inexplicable unless one takes into account that power of growth in the human soul which has led generation after generation from lower religious and ethical standards to higher ones which often clash with worldly advantages.

Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property.

Morality is the custom of one's country and the current feeling of one's peers.

Children often have a much stronger concept of morality than adults.
