Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.

The moral law commands us to make the highest possible good in a world the final object of all our conduct.

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

In every human society, there is an effort continually tending to confer on one part the height of power and happiness, and to reduce the other to the extreme of weakness and misery. The intent of good laws is to oppose this effort and to diffuse their influence universally and equally.

My morals are important to me.

The will to set values and the power to make them law are jointly at the bottom of all operative norms. When linked to divine wisdom, this source of moral law is still in safe hands which man can trust.

Many laws as certainly make bad men, as bad men make many laws.
