Good Manners........

Topic of the day is good manners and ethics.........

Without ethics, everything happens as if we were all five billion passengers
on a big machinery and nobody is driving the machinery. And it’s going
faster and faster, but we don’t know where.

—Jacques Cousteau

Because you’re able to do it and because you have the right to do it doesn’t
mean it’s right to do it.

The concern for man and his destiny must always be the chief interest of all
technical effort. Never forget it among your diagrams and equations.

—Albert Einstein

Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it
politic?’ Vanity asks the question, ‘Is it popular?’ But, conscience asks the
question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because
one’s conscience tells one that it is right.

—Martin Luther King, Jr

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a
menace to society.

—Theodore Roosevelt

Politics which revolves around benefit is savagery.

—Said Nursi

The true test of civilization is, not the census, nor the size of the cities, nor
the crops, but the kind of man that the country turns out.

—Ralph W. Emerson

The measure of a man’s character is what he would do if he knew he never
would be found out.

—Thomas B. Macaulay
