Be Good Quotes (page 8)

In his own life, then, a man is not to expect happiness, only to profit by it gladly when it shall arise; he is on duty here; he knows not how or why, and does not need to know; he knows not for what hire, and must not ask. Somehow or other, though he does not know what goodness is, he must try to be good; somehow or other, though he cannot tell what will do it, he must try to give happiness to others. Robert Louis Stevenson
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and..."
Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut. Stephenie Meyer
Love demands expression. It will not stay still, stay silent, be good, be modest, be seen and not heard, no. It will break out in tongues of praise, the high note that smashes the glass and spills the liquid. Jeanette Winterson
I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being good all the time. That would be hypocrisy. Oscar Wilde
Abigail Adams quote: "To be good, and do good, is the whole duty of man comprised in..."
To be good, and do good, is the whole duty of man comprised in a few words. Abigail Adams
It seemed to me the way it must feel to people who cut themselves on purpose. Not pretty, but clean. Not good, but void of regret. I was trying to heal. Trying to get the bad out of my system so I could be good again. To cure me of myself. Cheryl Strayed
Shake hands, we shall never be friends; give over: I only vex you the more I try. All's wrong that ever I've done and said, And nought to help it in this dull head: Shake hands, goodnight, goodbye. But if you come to a road where danger Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share, Be good to the lad that loves you true. And the soul that was born to die for you, And whistle and I'll be there. A. E. Housman
Stephen King quote: "We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it..."
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do. Stephen King
You can't teach children to be good. The best you can do for your child is to live a good life yourself. What a parent knows and believes, the child will lean on. Bruno Bettelheim
In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love. When a man comes to die, no matter what his talents and influence and genius, if he dies unloved his life must be a failure to him and his dying a cold horror. It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try to live so that our death brings... John Steinbeck
Maya Angelou quote: "If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be..."
If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me? Maya Angelou
I am malformed, scarred, and small, but . . .” she could see him groping “. . . abed, when the candles are blown out, I am made no worse than other men. In the dark, I am the Knight of Flowers.” He took a draught of wine. “I am generous. Loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’ve proven I’m no craven. And I am cleverer than most, surely wits count for something. I can even be kind. Kindness is not a habit with us Lannisters, I fear, but I know I have some somewhere. I could be . . . I could be... George R. R. Martin
Nothing can make self-immolation proper. Nothing can give them the right to turn men into sacrificial animals. Nothing can make it moral to destroy the best. One can't be punished for being good. One can't be penalized for ability. If that is right, then we'd better start slaughtering one another, because there isn't any right at all in the world! Ayn Rand
Stephen King quote: "It’s better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at..."
It’s better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a tremendous cost. Stephen King
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "All human beings search for either reasons to be good, or..."
All human beings search for either reasons to be good, or excuses to be bad. Chuck Palahniuk
