Be inspired by our collection of principle quotes. Principles are the person’s guide to how to live, Similar to morals but by no means the same thing. Principles are rules of conduct that you live or work by, set out by a workplace or state, or by yourself, and they are rules that need to be followed to uphold standards. Morals are behaviors the individual has in place to prevent guilt by wrongdoing to others. Principles are your guidebook to success, and the sky is the limit when you live by them. Principles usually stay the same, but principles change the people that follow them.
