When a citizen gives his suffrage to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust he sacrifices not only his own interest but that of his neighbor he betrays the interest of his country.
Trust should be the basis for all our moral training.
The time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.
Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.
Take therefore what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally.That in my view gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
I mean technology is amoral. It has no morality.
Technologists provide tools that can improve people's lives. But I want to be clear that I don't think technology by itself improves people's lives since often I'm criticized for being too pro-technology. Unless there's commensurate ethical and moral improvements to go along with it it's for naught.
There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things expands our ways of doing things. If we're bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if we're good people we use it for good purposes.
The teacher who would be true to his mission and accomplish the most good must give prominence to moral as well as intellectual instruction.
When people lack teachers their tendencies are not corrected when they do not have ritual and moral principles then their lawlessness is not controlled.
