QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON DECENCY
No law reaches it, but all right-minded people observe it.
Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741-1794, French writer, journalist, playwright)
Decency is the least of all laws, but yet it is the law which is most strictly observed.
Francois De La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680, French classical writer)
Don't overestimate the decency of the human race.
H. L. Mencken (1880-1956, American editor, author, critic, humorist)
We are decent 99 percent of the time, when we could easily be vile.
R. W. Riis
