Morally

Famous quotes containing the word morally:

    In a thousand apparently humble ways men busy themselves to make some right take the place of some wrong,—if it is only to make a better paste blacking,—and they are themselves so much the better morally for it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Mrs. Chalkstone, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 2, ch. 16, by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Matilda Joslyn Gage (1882)

    We grow with years more fragile in body, but morally stouter, and can throw off the chill of a bad conscience almost at once.
    Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
