Summary/Abstract: Our quality of life is reflected in the way we use language. The imperative function of language and the rhetorical situation urges us to decide and act. It is a moral norm that the spoken text separates True and False. At the same time, in language behaviour, one can observe ethical values and assessments, such as the aspects of the Good, the Right, and Justice. Our proverbs and sayings demand that speeches and speakers consider these aspects. Dealing with this field of study is crucial from the point of view of language education, cultural behaviour, and mental health care.
