  • Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo

 

H G Wells

  • What is morality in any given time or place?  It is what the majority then and there happen to like and immoralitiy is what they dislike.

 

A N Whitehead 

  • 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
