Ethics is what you do when nobody is watching.

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime"

is ascribed to both Voltaire (François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694 – 30 May 1778), a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist and philosopher known for his wit. But also by Honore de Balzac (1799-1850) a famous French writer... he must have copied from Voltaire, right?

Same country - France - 20 years apart. Interesting point on ethics, perhaps?

 

[ravisunny2]

Ethics is what you do when nobody is watching.

Or, because the good lord is watching ?

Suppose an poor, old lady dropped a $100 note/bill. And no one saw you pick it up, would you return it to her?

Now suppose a thug dropped a $1000 bill. And no one saw you pick it up, would you return it to him?

Or, because the good lord is watching ?

Suppose an poor, old lady dropped a $100 note/bill. And no one saw you pick it up, would you return it to her?

Now suppose a thug dropped a $1000 bill. And no one saw you pick it up, would you return it to him?

Nope on both accounts, sorry but its tough luck if you lose money no matter what the circumstances.

A side thought, originally I started this thread with the intention of posting a new quote each day...

There has now been enough quotes from you fantastic bunch to last a year, so i guess that makes me redundant.
