If you find that somebody is not grateful for all that you have done for him, then do not get disappointed because often you will find that someone else feels under your obligation though you have done nothing for him and thus your good deeds will be compensated, and Allah will reward you for your goodness.
Hazrat Ali

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.
Oscar Wilde
Quotes

Mark Twain

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
Elizabeth Hardwick

An ethical person ought to do more than he's required to do and less than he's allowed to do
Thomas Jefferson
Quotes

Kant, as we all know, compared moral law to the starry heavens,
and found them both sublime. On the naturalistic hypothesis we
should rather compare it to the protective blotches on a beetle's
back, and find them both ingenious.

Humanity has every reason to place the proclaimers of high moral
standards and values above the discoverers of objective truth.
What humanity own to personalities like Buddha, Moses, and Jesus
ranks for me higher than all the achievements the inquiring
constructive mind.

Morality is of the highest importance--but for us, not for God.

The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in
our actions. Our inner balance and even our very existence
depend on it. Only morality in our actions can give beauty and
dignity to life.

The American elite is almost beyond redemption. . . . Moral
relativism has set in so deeply that the gilded classes have
become incapable of discerning right from wrong. Everything can
be explained away, especially by journalists. Life is one great
moral mush--sophistry washed down with Chardonnay. The ordinary
citizens, thank goodness, still adhere to absolutes. . . . It is
they who have saved the republic from creeping degradation while
their "betters" were derelict.
Charles Dickens

The moral system of the universe is like a document written in
alternate ciphers, which change from line to line.

provides unconsciously for intellectual difficulties.

Dr. Johnson's morality was as English an article as a beefsteak.

Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning,--an
endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the
distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly
bodies.
