The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of one's self.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

There is a moral, of course, and like all morals it is better not pursued.

Morality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike.

Morality is the theory that every human act must be either right or wrong, and that 99 per cent of them are wrong.

Morality turns on whether the pleasure precedes the pain or follows it ... Thus, it is immoral to get drunk because the headache comes after the drinking, but if the headache came first, and the drunkenness afterwards, it would be moral to get drunk.

As soon as one is unhappy one becomes moral.

Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
