Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or goods:
“The toddlers wish to please ... is a powerful aid in helping the child to develop a social awareness and, eventually, a moral conscience. The childs love for the parent is so strong that it causes him to change his behavior: to refrain from hitting and biting, to share toys with a peer, to become toilet trained. This wish for approval is the parents most reliable ally in the process of socializing the child.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,but always something more important in our hearts.”
—Laurence Sterne (17131768)
