Peter Singer

More often there's a compromise between ethics and expediency.

We should aim for our children to be good people, and to live ethical lives that manifest concern for others as well as for themselves.

We see things like reciprocity which are fairly central to our view of ethics. But if you're talking about a set of worked-out rules on what we are supposed to do then, yes, it is a human product.

In the Armed Services Committee, we endeavored to put forth proposals that would help alleviate some of that stress, both for the troops and for their families.

I don't like to get in front of people.

Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.
