"A system of morality which is based..." - Quote by Socrates

“This sense of wonder is the mark of the philosopher. Philosophy indeed has no other origin.”

“The whole glory of virtue resides in activity.”

“I am convinced that human nature is basically affectionate and good. If our behavior follows our kind and loving nature, immense benefits will result, not only for ourselves, but also for the society to which we belong. I generally refer to this sort of love and affection as a universal religion. Everyone needs it, believers as much as non-believers. This attitude constitutes the very basis of morality.”

“On this question of war, three things are to be considered. First, the right of declaring it: secondly, the expense of supporting it: thirdly, the mode of conducting it after it is declared.”

“Wealth is not necessarily a bad thing when it has been earned in an honest manner and neither other individuals nor the environment suffered for it.”

“A genuine satyagraha should never excite contempt in the opponent even when it fails to command regard or respect.”
