Ethics is not definable, is not implementable, because it is not conscious; it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling.
Valdemar W. Setzer
Custom has furnished the only basis which ethics have ever had, and there is no conceivable human action which custom has not at one time justified and at another condemned
Joseph Wood Krutch
The vanity of the sciences. Physical science will not console me for the ignorance of morality in the time of affliction. But the science of ethics will always console me for the ignorance of the physical sciences.
Blaise Pascal

Jon Stewart
I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it`s an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that`s my trademark or one of them anyway!

Avishai Dekel
Whether gods exist or not, there is no way to get absolute certainty about ethics. Without absolute certainty, what do we do? We do the best we can.
Ana Guerriero
We see things like reciprocity which are fairly central to our view of ethics. But if you`re talking about a set of worked-out rules on what we are supposed to do then, yes, it is a human product.
Peter Singer

Altaf Ladak
The modern period adds social ethics to religions agenda, for we now realize that social structures are not like laws of nature. They are human creations, so we are responsible for them.
Alexis Carrel
The key factor is whether the agent is a member of the Association of Authors` Representatives, which screens its members and requires them to uphold a Canon of Ethics.
Richard Curtis
The Architect is just one of a series of works which examine the confrontation of innocence and experience, illustrating the complex ethics of power that exist between reader and writer, critic and artist, the human and the divine.
John Scott
Some men don`t gel when it comes to work - you have different work ethics, different opinions, different points of views, different methods of filmmaking - and we didn`t gel.
Antoine Fuqua
So the next thing I assume I`ll be hearing from Republicans, they want to change rules some way, as they do on the House when you get a problem with ethics, they just change the rules.
Harry Reid
