Mankind are an incorrigible race. Give them but bugbears and idols --it is all that they ask the distinctions of right and wrong, of truth and falsehood, of good and evil, are worse than indifferent to them.
William Hazlitt
I know not whether Laws be right Or whether Laws be wrong All that we know who live in gaol Is that the wall is strong And that each day is like a year, A year whose days are long.
Oscar Wilde
Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
Bill Clinton
There are three great questions which in life we have over and over again to answer. Is it right or wrong? Is it true or false? Is it beautiful or ugly? Our education ought to help us to answer these questions.
John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury

Robert Browning
