"Morality is the sum of the choices a person makes, it comes out of a personal set of values, that is, one's way of living inside a worldview and the ethical framwork it implies. Where one's ethics will give a person and idea about what the ideal type of "good" might ge, given his/her worldview, the concrete decisions a person makes about good and bad, appropriate and inappropriate, right and wrong, define his/her moral outlook." Taken from "An Ye Harm None: Magical Morality and Modern Ethics" by Shelley TSivia Rabinovitch and Meredith Macdonald.
What are Ethics? from the same book.
"Ethicx are about one's worldview. They arise out of how one understands the relationships between human beings, the natural world, and one's notion of the divine, however conceived. Ethics come out of a person's worldview because how one sees the world always informs his/her ieeas about 'right' and 'good.' Values are the abstract statements about goodness, beauty, and relative worth that underlie the judgments one makes about how one wishes to live."
