Morality (n.) implies some sentiment common to all mankind, which recommends the same object to general approbation, and makes every man, or most men, agree in the same opinion or decision concerning it.
Morality (n.) determined merely by sentiment regards only human nature and human life: superior beings planted those sentiments in us for the conduct of life, like bodily sensations they need not possess themselves.
Morality (n.) is the least part of the Pentateuch — and that part was always the least observed.
Morality (n.) without warm feeling is no longer a practical study: extinguish the disgust at vice and it ceases to regulate a single life.
Morality (n.) cannot be a politicians' invention: had nature made no such distinction, the words honourable and shameful could never have been made intelligible to any audience.
Morality (n.) needs a language of its own because private interests cannot be shared in conversation — to talk with people in other situations we must adopt a general standard, sufficient for company, pulpit, theatre and schools.
Morality (n.) rests chiefly on fashion, vogue, custom and law: the Athenian man of merit would be held in horror today, and ours would be ridiculed in Athens.
Morality (n.) is like the Rhine and the Rhone: they flow north and south, yet spring from one mountain and obey one gravity — only the slope of the ground differs.
