“A person who is fundamentally honest doesn't need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs.”

“No code of ethics and no effort are justifiable a priori in the face of the cruel mathematics that command our condition.”

“The basis for the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount is not what works, but rather who God is.”

“Every social ethic is doomed to failure if it is blind to personal responsibility" (The Ten Commandments, 10).”

“The five points of yama, together with the five points of niyama, remind us of the Ten Commandments of the Christtian and Jewish faiths, as well as of the ten virtues of Buddhism. In fact, there is no religion without these moral or ethical codes. All spiritual life should be based on these things. They are the foundation stones without which we can never build anything lasting. (127)”

“Irrespective of whether we are believers or agnostics, whether we believe in God or karma, moral ethics is a code which everyone is able to pursue.”
