The puritanic potentialities of science have never been forecast. If it evolves a body of organized rites, and is established as a religion, hierarchically organized, things more than anything else will be done in the name of "decency". The coarse fumes of tobacco and liquors, the consequent tainting of the breath and staining of white fingers and teeth, which is so offensive to many women, will be the first things attended to.
Lewis, Percy Wyndham

Human decency is not derived from religion. It precedes it. (p. 266)
Hitchens, Christopher
We entered a synagogue which was packed with the greatest stinking bunch of humanity I have ever seen. Either these Displaced Persons never had any sense of decency or else they lost it all during their period of interment by the Germans…. My personal opinion is that no people could have sunk to the level of degradation these have reached in the short space of four years.
Patton, George S.
And die with decency.
Otway, Thomas
I believe that we should die with decency so that at least decency will survive.
Hammarskjöld, Dag
Justice consists of doing no one injury, decency in giving no one offense.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Justice consists in doing no injury to men decency in giving them no offense.
Marcus Tullius Cicero De Officiis
With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.
Darrow, Clarence
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency in sin. It is just that negative species of virtue which consists in not doing what is scandalously depraved and wicked. But there is no heart of holy principle in it, any more than there is in the grosser sin.
Bushnell, Horace
