Moral Quotes
-
While posing as the pursuer of thieves, and the restorer of stolen goods, the government is actually the biggest thief of all. In fact, progressives have turned a large body of Americans-basically, Democratic voters-into accessories of theft by convincing them that they are doing something just and moral by picking their fellow citizens' pockets.
Dinesh D'Souza

Wherever moral ambition exists, there right exists. And moral ambition itself must be presumed present in subconsciousness, even when the conscious self seems to reject it, so long as society has resources for bringing it into action; in much the same way that the life-saver presumes life to exist in the drowned man until he has exhausted his resources for recovering respiration.
William Ernest Hocking

Doris Lessing
-
