Moral Approbation

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or approbation:

“As, therefore, we can have no dependence upon morality without religion;Mso, on the other hand, there is nothing better to be expected from religion without morality;Mnevertheless, ‘tis no prodigy to see a man whose real moral character stands very low, who yet entertains the highest notion of himself, in the light of a religious man.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“Nothing is more common than mutual dislike, where mutual approbation is particularly expected.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
