"One must never fail to pronounce moral judgment."
"Nothing can corrupt and disintegrate a culture or a man's character as thoroughly as does the precept of moral agnosticism, the idea that one must never pass moral judgment on others, that one must be morally tolerant of anything, that the good consists of never distinguishing good from evil.
If people did not indulge in such abject evasions as the claim:
- That some contemptible liar "means well"
- That a mooching bum "can't help it"
- That a juvenile delinquent "needs love"
- That a criminal "doesn't know any better"
- That a power-seeking politician is moved by patriotic concern for "the public good"
- That communists are merely "agrarian reformers" . . .
"- The history of the past few decades, or centuries, would have been different."
