A person is born with desires of the eyes and ears, and a liking for beautiful sights and sounds. If he gives way to them, they will lead him to immorality and lack of restriction, and any ritual principles and propriety will be abandoned.
Xun Zi
And it is to rock the soul and lead the person to immorality, corruption - to forget their prayers, to forget their God. And thus the world has partaken of the spirit of the Negro race, accepting their ways.
Warren Jeffs
Chaperons don't enforce morality; they force immorality to be discreet.
Judith Martin
Chaperons, even in their days of glory, were almost never able to enforce morality; what they did was to force immorality to be discreet. This is no small contribution.
Judith Martin
Fear, conformity, immorality: these are heavy burdens. They drain us of creative energy. And when we are drained of creative energy, we do not create. We procreate, but we do not create.
David McCallum
Here is true immorality: ignorance and stupidity; the devil is nothing but this. His name is Legion.
Gustave Flaubert
However great an evil immorality may be, we must not forget that it is not without its beneficial consequences. It is only through extremes that men can arrive at the middle path of wisdom and virtue.
Wilhelm von Humboldt
I like the English. They have the most rigid code of immorality in the world.
Malcolm Bradbury
Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.
H. L. Mencken
Once is a man's life, for one mortal moment, he must make a grab for immorality; if not, he has not lived.
Sylvester Stallone
People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government.
Cal Thomas
The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.
Jane Addams
The only immorality is not to do what one has to do when one has to do it.
Jean Anouilh
The true artist doesn't substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.
David Herbert Lawrence
This point seems counter-intuitive, given the amount of conspicuous vulgarity, vice, and immorality in America. Indeed some Islamic fundamentalists argue that their regimes are morally superior to the United States because they seek to foster virtue among the citizens.
Dinesh D'Souza
To be ashamed of one's immorality: that is a step on the staircase at whose end one is also ashamed of one's morality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like and immorality is what they dislike.
Alfred North Whitehead
When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor; he betrays the interest of his country.
Noah Webster
