Ethics in General
Jane Addams: "Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics."
Jacques-Yves Cousteau: "Without ethics, everything happens as if we were all five billion passengers on a big machinery and nobody is driving the machinery. And it's going faster and faster, but we don't know where."
Carolyn Dowling: "Adherence to a code of ethics is, in fact, a key element in the definition of a profession."
Peter Drucker: "Companies have three responsibilities: 1) make a profit, 2) satisfy employees, and 3) be socially responsible."
- "Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character."
Albert Einstein:
Albert Einstein: "Relativity applies to physics, not ethics."
Russell Gough: "Ethics is a matter of being good (character) and doing right (action)."
Tuncer Ören: "Respect of the rights is the essence of ethical behavior; while respect, in general, is a sign of kindness."
Thomas Paine: "A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right."
- Without civic morality communities perish; without personal morality their survival has no value.
Bertrand Russell:
