Morality and the Law
"Persons...possess natural moral rights to life, property and liberty; these rights are not to be transgressed by others either individually or collectively as a state."—John Locke"To be moral...one must not just act in accordance with duty; one must act for duty's sake.  An action is right if it conforms to a moral rule that any agent must follow if he is to act rationally."—Immanuel KantCITE>"Every free action is produced by the concurrence of two causes; one moral, i.e., the will that determines the act; the other physical, i.e., the power that executes it."—Jean Jacques Rousseau"This universe is a monster of energy, without beginning or end....  It is nothing vague or wasteful, it does not stretch into infinity...."—Friedrich Nietzsche
