Morals

Famous quotes containing the word morals:

“They work, and age, and put off men
By being unattractive, or too shy,
Or having morals anyhow, none give in:
Some of them go quite rigid with disgust
At anything but marriage....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“A full belly to the labourer was, in my opinion, the foundation of public morals and the only source of real public peace.”
