“Moralities and religions are the principal means by which one can make whatever one wishes out of man, provided one possesses a superfluity of creative forces and can assert one's will over long periods of time in the form of legislation and customs.” MenMeanLongFormForceWishCreativePeriodsMoralityCustomsPrincipalLegislationLong Periods Of TimeMorality And Religion Book:The Will to Power Source: The Will to Power
“All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer.” WishPrayerLordPrinciplesLike YouFineMoralityBibleSentencesRepeatsCreedsVersesAbsurditySublimeCommonplaceAssemblage Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“I wish I could take back some of the things I said and some of the things I did. But in the bigger picture, I don't feel that it was violent and terrible. I feel like it was primarily--obviously not completely--moral, based on a vision that the government should be better, and that people could be better, and that democracy should be real.” PeopleFeelsShouldSaidRealGovernmentWishMoralVisionDemocracyTerribleMoralityBiggerViolentBeing RealBigger Picture Author:Bernardine Dohrn
“The hypothesis I wish to advance is thatthe language of morality is ingrave disorder.... What we possess, if this is true, are the fragments of a conceptual scheme, parts of which now lack those contexts from which their significance derived. We possess indeed simulacra of morality, we continue to use many of the key expressions. But we have--very largely if not entirely--lost our comprehension, both theoretical and practical, of morality.” IfsUseLostLanguageWishExpressionKeysMoralityPracticalsSignificanceDisorderSchemesHypothesisFragmentsTheoreticalComprehension Author:Alasdair MacIntyre
“Home schoolers do not wish to force other parents to home school. Gun owners do not insist that others buy guns, or that hunting be promoted as an alternative lifestyle. It is not the National Rifle Association out lobbying to have government schools read books entitled 'Heather Has Two Hunters' to preschoolers. It is, in fact, the Left that now strives to use state power to impose its morality by forcing all taxpayers to pay for abortions and public "art" that mocks people of faith. It is the Left that forces parents to pay for government schools where they do not wish to send their children.” PeopleChildrenArtTwoBookStatesFactsUseHomeGovernmentSchoolLeftForceWishParentPayMoralityGunStriveLifestyleAlternativesAbortionOwnersAssociationHuntingEntitledStrifeHuntersTaxpayersRiflesLobbyingGun OwnersHeathersPublic Art Author:Grover Norquist
