Custom reconciles us to everything.
EDMUND BURKE, On the Sublime and Beautiful
Custom alone regulates morals.
ANATOLE FRANCE, The Revolt of the Angels
Morality is the custom of one’s country and the current feeling of one’s peers. Cannibalism is moral in a cannibal country.
SAMUEL BUTLER, Samuel Butler's Notebooks
The customs of the world are so many conventional follies.
EDGAR ALLAN POE, "The Spectacles"
