The True Basis Of Morality Is Utility; That Is, The Adaptation Of Our Actions To The Promotion Of The General Welfare And Happiness; The Endeavour So To Rule Our Lives That We May Serve And Bless Mankind.
Most Of The Images Of Reality On Which We Base Our Actions Are Really Based On Vicarious Experience.
We Cannot Foresee What The Lord Has In Mind For Us. Our Only Course Of Action Is To Be Prepared And Worthy For Whatever He Requires. We Must Govern Our Actions Every Day With Our Future In Mind.
A Novel Must Show How The World Truly Is. Somehow, Reveals The True Source Of Our Actions.
God Bestows More Consideration On The Purity Of The Intention With Which Our Actions Are Performed Than On The Actions Themselves.
Humility Must Accompany All Our Actions, Must Be With Us Everywhere; For As Soon As We Glory In Our Good Works They Are Of No Further Value To Our Advancement In Virtue.
As Human Beings, We Are Always Torn Between Individual Freedom And The Ability Of Choose Our Actions, And The Need For At Least Enough Social Structure So That Anarchy, Chaos, And Warlordery - Or The War Of All Against All - Can Be Avoided.
We Are Masters Of Our Actions From The Beginning Up To The Very End. But, In The Case Of Our Habits, We Are Only Masters Of Their Commencement - Each Particular Little Increase Being As Imperceptible As In The Case Of Bodily Infirmities. But Yet Our Habits Are Voluntary, In That It Was Once In Our Power To Adopt Or Not To Adopt Such Or Such A Course Of Conduct.
We Are The Sum Of Our Actions, And Therefore Our Habits Make All The Difference.
When We Cast Our Bread Upon The Waters We Can Presume That Someone Downstream Whose Face We Will Never Know Will Benefit From Our Action, As We Who Are Downstream From Another Will Profit From The Grantor's Gift.
