Gorean Morality Tolerance Earned Purpose Natural Order Beauty True Freedom Truth Personal Sovereignty

Gorean Morality

“Many Earth moralities encourage resignation and accommodation; Gorean morality is bent more toward conquest and defiance; many Earth moralities encourage tenderness, pity and gentleness, sweetness; Gorean morality encourages honour, courage, hardness and strength. To Gorean morality, many Earth moralities might ask, ‘Why so hard?’. To these Earth moralities, the Gorean ethos might ask, ‘Why so soft?'” – Marauders of Gor, DAW page 8

Tolerance

“Let those who can climb mountains climb them; let those who cannot climb them console themselves with denying their existence.” – John Norman,  Rogue of Gor, DAW page 19

Earned

“Truth not won is not possessed. We are not entitled to truths for which we have not fought.” – John Norman, Marauders of Gor, Daw page 7

Purpose

“Gorean morality, for all its faults, is designed to make people free and great.” – John Norman, Marauders of Gor, DAW page 13

Natural Order

“Suppose that a woman, like a man, has buried instincts, of which they may not even become aware, but these instincts lie within them, dispositions to respond, dispositions locked into the very genetic codes of her being, instincts awaiting only the proper stimulus situation to be elicited and emerge,overpoweringly, irresistably, sweeping her, perhaps to her astonishment and horror, in a biological flood to her destiny, a destiny once triggered as incontrovertible and uncontrollable as the secretion of her glands and the mad beating of her heart.” – John Norman, Captive of Gor, DAW page 264

Beauty

“A good maxim to keep in mind is that if it isn’t beautiful, it isn’t Gorean.” – John Norman, afterword in ‘Witness of Gor’

True Freedom

“Now, with weapons and courage, perhaps for the first time, they were truly free men, for they could now defend their freedoms, and those who cannot do this are not truly free; at best they are fortunate.” – John Norman, Raiders of Gor, DAW page 301

Truth

“The name of truth all prize; the face of truth most fear. Yet I think the nature of truth is not that terrible. It is just that it is different, and more beautiful than the lies.” – John Norman, Renegades of Gor, DAW page 100

Personal Sovereignty

“Within the circle of each man’s sword,” say the codes of the warrior, “therein is each man an Ubar” – John Norman, Marauders of Gor, DAW page 9
