My take is that morals are standards you uphold yourself to, even when nobody is watching; ethics are how you deal with other people. I.e., morals are what make you decide whether, say, a sex act between consenting adults is right or wrong; ethics are what keep you from forcing someone to participate.
This is why I will often say that I have rigorous ethical standards and almost no morals.

Morality is an abstract concept based upon the determination of an absolute understanding of right and wrong determined by a common belief system shared amongst a group of people. Ethics is a county in the East of England.

Mortality is physical . Ethics are thoughts, ideas, beliefs that do not have a physical presence. For example to end a persons mortality would in most cases be illegal, whilst killing a belief or proving a idea wrong is generally acceptable behavior.

Morality is the set of rules of private behaviour that a society tries to enforce on its members. Some of them can be unethical, because Ethics is the natural respect for other people, including their freedom to do whatever does not hurt anybody else, except they agree to it explicitly.
