A universal knowledge of 'right' and 'wrong'.
The conscience which informs you if an action is 'right' or 'wrong'
The quality to know, and conform, to the 'rules of right conduct'
The moral foundation of the Universe: everyone, everywhere tends to live by certain comman moral principals. Even a thief feels 'wrong done by' when someone steals from him.

Morality is not one thing for one person and something else for another. Morality is a set of guidelines in order to help us live our lives as positively and effectively so that we all may ultimately have a greater grasp at the pursuit of happiness. If we follow our morals, we may find and instill in our souls a greater glimpse of Joy and Peace than we could ever fathom. And if we follow this path, we may find ourselves engulfed in the Grace of God.
Morality is not: It's wrong to drink. Sex before marriage is bad.
Morality is: Do not let drinking, eating, as well as money consume you and take you from the more important things in life, such as God.
If I have sex before marriage, I might thirst more for Lust than Love and/or this could ultimately destroy my future as a loving husband/wife or father/mother.

A method by which an act can be labeled "right" or "wrong" or "neither". Many moral philosophies exist.
Egoism: "Drinking is wrong because it is bad for me."
Hedonism: "Drinking is right because it makes me feel good."
Utilitarianism: "Drinking is right because it brings about more good than evil."
Libertarianism: "Drinking is not wrong since it does not infringe on anyone elses liberty. It is not right since I am also at liberty to NOT drink."
Divine Command Theory: "Let's burn witches! the Bible says we should."

A fictitous belief in what is 'right' and what is 'wrong' There is no such thing as right or wrong. Your actions decide who you are, not words. 'Morality' is dependant on a person. Not society. Each individual decides what is right or wrong. It is not socities choice to decide. But it is the duty of society to lay down rules of morality.
by Karl Marx October 25, 2004
A pseudo-philosophical subject which lays at the intersection of ethics and religion. Its primary concern is to take ethical non issues concerning personal choice and masquerade them as the cause of all social ills while ignoring the underlying problems of any given social negative.
Morality is the mask of an artificial enemy.

Example:
Religious fundamentalist: Damn those hippies and those queers, with their drugs and buttsecks; they're the reason for everything wrong in this country!! We didn't have problems like this back in my day when everyone listened to God and followed his morality!!!
Rationalist: No, back in your day you had unfair labor practices and sweat shops to contend with. The root of most of our problems are rooted in poverty and ignorance. If we regulated drug sales gangs would dissolve for lack of income. The revenue generated by drug sales and gay weddings could provide quality education and health care for everyone.

Some of the worst serial killers of out time have been generated by a very moral upbringing. See: Albert Fish

Didn't Nietzsche say something along the lines of "Morality is a tool used by lesser men to keep the superior man down"?
Hym "No. I'm not trying to make your life worse. I'm trying to make mine better. And your selective morality is the tool that is (explicitly) being used to mitigate my ability to move up in the world. And if you'll do it to me you'll do it to anyone else who crosses you."
Fat Jew "We have a list of all the worst things you've ever said and maybe we'll use it and maybe we'll use it and maybe we won't."
Hym "Ha! Hahaha! Ahahahahahaha! That's like threatening Clayface with a handful of dirt! Pffftahahahah! Catch me outside. How bout dat? Ohp, I said the thing. I deserve to be famous now and now no one is justified in trying to stop my ascension. See that?"
