The CONCERT for BANGLADESH was just a MORAL stance.

No one can be PERFECTLY FREE TILL all are free; no one can be perfectly MORAL till all are moral; no one can be perfectly HAPPY till all are happy.

If we want to have good WORKERS and good citizens, we need to CREATE common spaces in which INDIVIDUALS can talk about the moral and ETHICAL DILEMMAS that they have faced and how they resolve them.

I THINK the MORAL majority and religious right have been shrinking and having not quite as loud a voice in America, and all of a sudden people are coming to their own realizations going, 'Joe down the STREET is gay and he's a great guy.'

Fairy TALES to me are never happy, SWEET stories. They're MORAL stories about OVERCOMING the dark side and the bad.

Let us rise in the MORAL POWER of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and ETERNAL truth, and MIGHTY LOVE and holy freedom.

It is CURIOUS that physical COURAGE should be so common in the WORLD and moral courage so rare.

History and EXPERIENCE TELL us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent TIMES, but out of trial and CONFUSION.

Forcing people to be GENEROUS isn't humanitarian, effective, compassionate or moral. Only ACTS that are TRULY voluntary for all CONCERNED can be truly compassionate.

The problem with the UNITED NATIONS is that while DEMOCRACY within nations is the best available FORM of government, democracy among nations can be a moral disaster - especially if some nations are not democracies.
