Morality is only moral when it is voluntary.
Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 % of them are wrong.
Morality is not the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.
The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil.
Morality arose largely as an empirical defence of the individual and society. Ever since intelligent beings began to be in contact, and consequently in friction, they have felt the need to guard themselves against each other's encroachments.

What is moral is what you feel good after, and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
For me, the only sources of moral values are the pursuit of understanding and the pursuit of happiness.
Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.
Morality is a test of our conformity rather than our integrity.
