Moral Approbation

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or approbation:

“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)

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