Freedom morality and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in this that he does good not because he is forced to do so but because he freely conceives it wants it and loves it.

How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every 'should' is a compulsion and not every 'like' is a high morality and true freedom.

Fear is the mother of morality.

God created the family to provide the maximum love and support and morality and example that one can imagine.

Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.
