About morals: I know only that
what is moral is what you feel good after
and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.
- Ernest Hemingway

you always know the right thing to do.
The hard part is doing it.
- Norman Schwarzkoff
In matters of conscience,
the law of the majority has no place.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi
Only good comes from being honest and true.
Only harm and suffering come from falsehood.
It doesn't always appear that good comes from truth and honesty,
but, in the long run, it does.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
