Subjects. Divus Cæsar. The moral system of the universe is like a document written in alternate ciphers, which change from line to line.— FROUDE — Short Studies on Great

Subjects. Calvinism. Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning, an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.— LONGFELLOW — Kavanagh. Ch. XIII.

We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.— MACAULAY — On Moore's Life of Lord

Byron. 1830. I find the doctors and the sages Have differ'd in all climes and ages, And two in fifty scarce agree On what is pure morality.— MOORE — Morality.
