Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.
Let you look sometimes for the goodness in me, and judge me not.
Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.[τί λοιπὸν ἢ ἀπολαύειν τοῦ ζῆνσυνάπτοντα ἄλλο ἐπ ἄλλῳ ἀγαθόν, ὥστε μηδὲ τὸ βραχύτατονδιάστημα ἀπολείπειν.]
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’s better when one does good in such a manner that no one knows of it.[Но лучше, когда делают так, что, у кого ни спроси, никто не знает.]
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But on the other hand no one is more ready than I am to acknowledge that it is better to be good than to be ugly.
It is a Grand Mistake to think of being Great without Goodness; and I pronounce it as certain, that there was never yet a truly Great Man that was not at the same Time truly Virtuous.
If I’m not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?
I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.
How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
Goodness is the only investment that never fails.
Goodness is about what you do. Not what you pray to.
