Moral Approbation

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or approbation:

“Most commonly revolt is born of material circumstances; but insurrection is always a moral phenomenon. Revolt is Masaniello, who led the Neapolitan insurgents in 1647; but insurrection is Spartacus. Insurrection is a thing of the spirit, revolt is a thing of the stomach.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

“Nothing is more common than mutual dislike, where mutual approbation is particularly expected.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
