QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON ETHICS
Everywhere, the ethical predicament of our time imposes itself with an urgency which suggests that even the question, "Have we anything to eat?" will be answered not in material but in ethical terms.

I think it's unethical to take money for poor quality performance.
Alvin Burger (American businessman, founder of 'bugs' Burger Bug Killers, Inc.)
The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.
Stephen R. Covey (1932-, American speaker, trainer, author of "The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People")
