The real problem is in the hearts and minds of men. It is not a problem of physics but of ethics. It is easier to denature plutonium than to denature the evil spirit of man.

Ethics is about what is right, not who is right.

What we might consider is how we are good rather than how good we are.

Because the ethics of men has been a powerful social ability since the most ancient period of human life, there has developed in the human heart a voice of authority that down to the present day still echoes in our own hearts. It has a mysterious quality that is not due to the stimulus of the outside world, nor is it a matter of advantage or disadvantage; [rather] it is a naturally produced authority. Its mysterious nature is similar to the mystery of sex, the mystery of mother love, and the mystery of sacrifice.

Either the right to live and die are both sacred, or neither is.

True morality consists not in following the beaten track, but in finding out the true path for ourselves and in fearlessly following it.

Do the right thing.

Your luck is how you treat people.

Grub first, then ethics.

The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.
