We are now returning to the 18th century empirical approach with the new interest in the evolutionary basis of ethics, with 'experimental' moral philosophy and moral psychology. As a result, we understand better why moral formulas are experienced as ineluctable commands, even if there is no commander and even if the notion of an inescapable obligation is just superstition. So moral philosophy has made huge progress.

Catherine Wilson

I don't have the slightest interest in gold. I like understanding what works and what doesn't in human systems. To me that's not optional; that's a moral obligation. If you're capable of understanding the world, you have a moral obligation to become rational. And I don't see how you become rational hoarding gold. Even if it works, you're a jerk.

Charlie Munger

For an act to be moral the intention must be based on compassion, not duty. We do something because we want to do it, because we feel we have to do it, not because we ought to do it. And even if our efforts fail - or we never even get to implement them - we are still moral because our motivation was based on compassion.

Arthur Schopenhauer

All moral obligation resolves itself into the obligation of conformity to the will of God.

Charles Hodge

It's our moral obligation, as well as, I believe, it is the government's obligation to take care of its people.

Marcia Fudge

Tell the truth as you understand it. If you're a writer, you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act - truth is always subversive.

Anne Lamott

We confuse insurance with our moral obligation to provide health-care services to people. And what we try to do is finance our moral obligation through the insurance system, which punishes the people who are fiscally responsible to buy insurance.

Ron Williams

We should feel grateful instead of entitled. We have a moral obligation to give back.

Bill Courtney

Daley may not feel a moral responsibility to eliminate discrimination but he has a legal obligation to do so.

Bobby Rush

Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.

Dan Millman

It would not be correct to say that every moral obligation involves a legal duty; but every legal duty is founded on a moral obligation.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I feel a big obligation to the audience, almost in a moral sense, to say something useful. If I'm going to spend a year of my life on these things, I want something that I feel that strongly about.

Harold Ramis

Conscience is what? It is putting together a moral act and a moral ideal, and measuring the act by the ideal. It is putting this moral act which you do alongside the eternal laws of God, and seeing how it stands by those laws of God.

Lyman Abbott

I feel that it is our moral obligation to stand and to be courageous with these families, and particularly Cindy, that have become the conscience of this nation.

Al Sharpton

How can an act done under compulsion have any moral element in it, seeing that what is moral is the free act of an intelligent being?

Auberon Herbert

We not only have a legal obligation to honor our commitments, we have a moral obligation to provide the coverage we promised to provide to these people.
