OK you asked: "Did you mean that all morality comes from God?"

I always run to the bible for such high level things. The verse that came to mind was Jesus saying "If you, being EVIL, know how to give good gifts to your children..."

We know man is evil yet knows right from wrong and is capable of doing what is good. The "Comes from God" aspect of your question can go all the way to the fact that He created us the ability to know and choose right from wrong and that is all of Him.

But I place no faith in man's ability to define morals though he stumbles upon being good once in a while.
