MORAL PRINCIPLES / MORAL SENSE AND CONSCIENCE



God... has formed us moral agents... that we may promote the happiness of those with whom He has placed us in society, by acting honestly towards all, benevolently to those who fall within our way, respecting sacredly their rights, bodily and mental, and cherishing especially their freedom of conscience, as we value our own.

to Miles King, 1814
