Justice consists of doing no one injury,
decency in giving no one offense.
?Marcus Tullius Cicero
No law reaches it, but all right-
minded people observe it.
?Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort
If you don't believe in God, all you have
to believe in is decency. . . . Decency is
very good. Better decent than indecent.
But I don't think it's enough.
?Harold MacMillan
We are decent 99 percent of the time,
when we could easily be vile.
?R. W. Riis
Each person has inside a basic decency
and goodness. If he listens to it and acts on it,
he is giving a great deal of what it is the
world needs most. It is not complicated but it takes
courage . . . to listen to his own goodness.
?Pablo Casals
