Men convinced themselves that a system that was so economically profitable must be morally justifiable. ... Science was commandeered to prove the biological inferiority of the Negro. Even philosophical logic was manipulated [exemplified by] an Aristotlian syllogism:All men are made in the image of God;God, as everyone knows, is not a Negro;Therefore, the Negro is not a man.”

“I have thought a sufficient measure of civilization is the influence of good women.”

“Without law or compulsion, men would dwell in harmony.”

“The individual is the central, rarest, most precious capital resource of our society.”

“If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.”

“Morality is neither rational nor absolute nor natural. World has known many moral systems, each of which advances claims universality; all moral systems are therefore particular, serving a specific purpose for their propagators or creators, and enforcing a certain regime that disciplines human beings for social life by narrowing our perspectives and limiting our horizons.”

“Guide them by edicts, keep them in line with punishments, and the common people will stay out of trouble but will have no sense of shame. Guide them by virtue, keep them in line with the rites, and they will, besides having a sense of shame, reform themselves.”
