Morality is the only cult, the only natural religion of man on earth, the only thing that should occupy him in this world. Only by fulfilling the requirements of this morality can we consider ourselves fulfilling the divine will. If indeed God made man what he is, then, therefore, God endowed him with both a sense of self-preservation and a desire for happiness. If it was God who created us reasonable, it means that he wished us to reckon with his mind, figuring out where good and evil, useful and harmful. If he made us social beings, then he wanted us to live in society and strive for its preservation and well-being.

We lie in words, we lie in gestures, we lie out of courtesy, we lie out of virtue, we lie out of vice; this lie, of course, contributes greatly to corruption, to moral impotence, in which whole generations are born and die, passing through the earth in a kind of fumes and fog. Meanwhile, even this lie has become completely natural, even moral: we recognize a well-bred man by the fact that you can never get him to tell his opinion frankly.

It is impossible to imagine that a man, once in the place of a woman, would withstand a ten-kilometer march with full gear during menstruation and not fall off his feet. Some people would faint just at the sight of blood. I'm pretty sure that if men had their days, they would surely be made non-workers. An appropriate law would immediately appear, or even more so - a government decree.

Morality has nothing to do with religion ... religion not only does not serve as the basis of morality, but is rather hostile to it. True morality must be based on the nature of man; Religious morality will always be based only on chimeras and on the arbitrariness of those people who endow God with a language that often fundamentally contradicts both nature and human reason.

In everyone, even the best person, affects arise due to external causes or impure, base, evil thoughts and desires due to internal moods; but he is not morally responsible for them, and they cannot burden his conscience. For they only show what a person in general would be able to do, and not the one who thinks them.

Your pride wants nature - even nature - to prescribe and inculcate your morality, your ideal, you demand that it be nature "according to the Stoa", and you wished that everything that exists existed according to your own pattern as an exorbitant eternal exaltation and propagation of stoicism!

Do no evil - it will return like a boomerang, do not spit in the well - you will drink water, do not insult someone who is lower in rank, and suddenly you have to ask for something. Do not betray your friends, you will not replace them, and do not lose your loved ones - you will not return, do not lie to yourself - over time you will check that you are betraying yourself with a lie.

Civilization is that kind of behavior that shows man the path of duty. Fulfillment of duty and observance of morality are interchangeable concepts. To observe the rules of morality means to dominate one's thoughts and passions. In doing so, we know ourselves.

The moral qualities of a remarkable man are of more importance for his generation and for the historical process than purely intellectual achievements. These latter themselves depend on the greatness of the spirit, a greatness that usually remains unknown.

We regard as dangerous those whose minds are different from ours, and immoral those whose morality is not like ours. We call skeptics those who are alien to our illusions, without even wondering if they have any others.

Talking about women in the plural and present tense is quite normal for a young man; but when a woman talks about men in the plural and in the past tense, it devalues ​​her even more than menopause
