Moral Judgments

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or judgments:

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Scepticism is an ability, or mental attitude, which opposes appearances to judgments in any way whatsoever, with the result that, owing to the equipollence of the objects and reasons thus opposed we are brought firstly to a state of mental suspense and next to a state of “unperturbedness” or quietude.”
