Ethics evolve naturally, and we trample upon them with laws created by reason and experience.

More on Ethics
“I could better eat with one who did not respect the truth or the laws, than with a sloven and unpresentable person. Moral qualities rule the world, but at shorter distances, the senses are despotic.”
“Good is that which promotes life, evil is that which destroys life”
“Applying the axioms of physical science to human life has something reprehensible to it.”
More on Law
“Though justice be thy plea consider this, that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation.”
“It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them.”
“Anyone in a free society where the laws are unjust has an obligation to break the law.”
