A moral being is one who is capable of reflecting on his past actions and their motives - of approving of some and disapproving of others.

The moral sense perhaps affords the best and highest distinction between man and the lower animals.

The moral faculties are generally esteemed, and with justice, as of higher value than the intellectual powers. But we should always bear in mind that the activity of the mind in vividly recalling past impressions is one of the fundamental though secondary bases of conscience. This fact affords the strongest argument for educating and stimulating in all possible ways the intellectual faculties of every human being.

The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognise that we ought to control our thoughts.

Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.

Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.
