Moral Distinctions

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or distinctions:

    The point is children lie to others for good and sufficient reasons, but they don’t kid themselves. They know who did what, but they feel no moral imperative to inform grownups.
    Leontine Young (20th century)

    Mankind are an incorrigible race. Give them but bugbears and idols—it is all that they ask; the distinctions of right and wrong, of truth and falsehood, of good and evil, are worse than indifferent to them.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
