We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach, but do not practice, and another which we practice, but seldom preach.

Summary

This quote suggests that there are two contrasting forms of morality that coexist in society. The first kind is a set of moral principles that are preached and publicly advocated for, yet individuals may not entirely follow them in their actions. The second kind refers to the moral guidelines that people actually practice in their lives, although they may not openly communicate or promote these principles. Essentially, it highlights the disparity between what society claims to prioritize morally and what individuals genuinely prioritize in their behavior.
