Quote by Bertrand Russell
We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one that we preach, but do not practice, and another that we practice, but seldom preach.
Summary
This quote suggests that there are two different forms of morality that exist simultaneously. The first is the morality that people often talk about and promote, but rarely embody in their own actions. It highlights the hypocrisy of preaching one set of morals while not adhering to them personally. The second kind of morality encompasses individuals' actual behavior and actions, even if they don't openly speak about it or promote it to others. This quote emphasizes the disconnect between what is professed and what is genuinely practiced in terms of morals and ethics.
