Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or majority:
“Morality is the custom of one’s country and the current feeling of one’s peers. Cannibalism is moral in a cannibal country.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The majority of persons choose their wives with as little prudence as they eat. They see a trull with nothing else to recommend her but a pair of thighs and choice hunkers, and so smart to void their seed that they marry her at once. They imagine they can live in marvelous contentment with handsome feet and ambrosial buttocks. Most men are accredited fools shortly after they leave the womb.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
