Jonathan Haidt

Our moral sense really evolved to bind groups together into teams that can cooperate in order to compete with other teams.

Economic issues are just as much moral issues as social issues.

Congress is full of good, decent, smart people who have devoted their lives to public service.

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.

The argument about zoning and the presidency of Nigeria is like the philosophical argument of the egg or the hen. Who is older through the evolutionary process, who came first?

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
