morality [Theme] Page 1

Be an example of a real man by marrying a defenseless and homeless woman. Do not, under any circumstances, let her lead an unworthy life.

It will probably fly away from us.

I don’t even know if the word Morality is written through Et¹ or E. And who her father was - I don’t know, and who the mother was, and whether there were children, and where her address is - I don’t know anything at all.

There is a biological age of a person, but this is not a spiritual and moral age.

In our conscience there is an unconditional demand for a moral law, which we ourselves do not create and which does not arise from the mutual agreement of people, in the form of social welfare.

By means of moral (moral) norms, people strive to express absolute values, which is why moral norms and assessments are the highest criterion for lawful behavior. For this reason, from the standpoint of morality, a person is entitled to evaluate legal law from the point of view of its compliance with the requirements of justice. In general, morality is expressed in the "golden rule": act towards others as you would like them to act towards you.

All religions and all morals in the world come down to one thing:

There are no moral ideas at all now; suddenly there was not a single one, and, most importantly, with such an air that it was as if they had never existed.

This is especially true for people who find themselves in conditions where it is impossible not to slide down to committing a crime.

An outstanding person who creates world-historical deeds is beyond the jurisdiction of morality. What matters is the greatness of the deed, not its moral meaning.

Two principles constantly struggle in a person, of which one attracts him to the active activity of the spirit, to spiritual work in the name of the ideal, and the other seeks to paralyze this activity, to drown out the higher needs of the spirit, to make existence carnal, meager and vile. This second beginning is true philistinism; the tradesman sits in every person, always ready to lay his deadening hand on him as soon as his spiritual energy weakens. It is in the struggle with oneself, which includes the struggle with the outside world, that moral life consists, which therefore has as its condition this fundamental dualism of our existence, the struggle of two souls that live in one body not only in Faust, but also in every person.

He can do whatever he wants, because in the world and morality, and civilization, and everything else is subject to the power of money, and his means seem to be inexhaustible.

Knowledge without morality is a sword in the hands of a madman.
