There is no greatness there where simplicity, goodness, and truth are absent.[И нет величия там, где нет простоты, добра и правды.]
Where the Mind is biggest, the Heart, the Senses, Magnanimity, Charity, Tolerance, Kindliness, and the rest of them scarcely have room to breathe.
Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful.
There is sorrow in the world, but goodness too; and goodness that is not greenness, either, no more than sorrow is.
Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile.
To be good is noble; but to show others how to be good is nobler and no trouble.
There is not sufficient love and goodness in the world to permit us to give some of it away to imaginary beings.
There can be no true goodness nor true love without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.
Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.
It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.[Удивительное дело, какая полная бывает иллюзия того, что красота есть добро.]
