Moral Judgments

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or judgments:

“Human beings have rights, because they are moral beings: the rights of all men grow out of their moral nature; and as all men have the same moral nature, they have essentially the same rights. These rights may be wrested from the slave, but they cannot be alienated: his title to himself is as perfect now, as is that of Lyman Beecher: it is stamped on his moral being, and is, like it, imperishable.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

“The judgments our enemies make about us come nearer to the truth than those we make about ourselves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
