About This Quote
Ethics is a dream or Ethics is an ideal. These are both correct ways to express this famous quote. Ethics is not an actual set of rules that can be followed, but rather it is what you do with the rules that ethics provide that makes all the difference. Ethics are just guidelines, something to help you decide what you should do in any situation. Actions speak louder than words, so if you’re not taking action on your ethics, then you aren’t living by them.
