Ethics

«The devil is and always has been a gentleman.»
Author: Diane LaVey | About: Devil, Ethics, Etiquette, Satan
«Science cannot stop while ethics catches up - and nobody should expect scientists to do all the thinking for the country»
«Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust.»
«Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.»
«The difference between moral dilemmas and ethical ones, philosophers say, is that in moral issues the choice is between right and wrong. In ethics, the choice is between two rights.»
Author: Pamela Warrick (Journalist) | About: Ethics
«There is no social entity with a good that undergoes some sacrifice for its own good. There are only individual people, different individual people, with their own individual lives. Using one of these people for the benefit of others, uses him and benefits the others. Nothing more.»
Author: Robert Nozick | About: Ethics, Philosophy | Keywords: entity, undergoes
«There is no such thing as a minor lapse of integrity»
Author: Tom Peters | About: Ethics | Keywords: integrity, lapse, lapsed, lapses, lapsing, minor, minors
«Relativity applies to physics, not ethics»
«The law in Athens is true in Rome»
«The standard that a society should actually embody its own professed principles is a utopian one, in the sense that moral principles contradict the way things really are --- and always will be. How things really are --- and always will be --- is neither all-evil nor all-good but deficient, inconsistent, inferior. Principles invite us to do something about the morass of contradictions in which we function morally. Principles invite us to clean up our act; to become intolerant of moral laxity and compromise and cowardice and the turning away from what is upsetting: that secret gnawing of the heart that tells us that what we are doing is not right, and so counsels us that we'd be better off just not thinking about it.»
