There is a truth deep down inside of you that has been waiting for you to discover it, and that truth is this: you deserve all good things life has to offer. Rhonda Byrne
To believe in the supernatural is not simply to believe that after living a successful, material, and fairly virtuous life here one will continue to exist in the best-possible substitute for this world, or that after living a starved and stunted life here one will be compensated with all the good things one has gone without: it is to believe that the supernatural is the greatest reality here and now. T. S. Eliot
Well, how could a reader notice that? There may be something lacking there I admit. But heavens above, they ought to count themselves lucky! It's full enough of good things as it is, far more than they usually get. Marcel Proust
George Carlin quote: "The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music."
The only good thing ever to come out of religion was the music. George Carlin
Death is not an evil, because it frees us from all evils, and while it takes away good things, it takes away also the desire for them. Old age is the supreme evil, because it deprives us of all pleasures, leaving us only the appetite for them, and it brings with it all sufferings. Nevertheless, we fear death, and we desire old age. Giacomo Leopardi
How shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say, 'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.' So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that. Audrey Hepburn
But maybe it's wrong of me to complain? I'm alive after all? and I lose an enemy or two every day? cancer, apoplexy, gluttony? it's a pleasure the number that pass on!? I'm not hard to please? a name!? another!? there are good things in life? Louis-Ferdinand Celine
William Randolph Hearst quote: "It is a good thing that women are so easily manipulated. ..."
It is a good thing that women are so easily manipulated. Otherwise, most of us wouldn't be here. William Randolph Hearst
Drew Barrymore quote: "You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe..."
You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe when you put on glitter. Drew Barrymore
Art tends toward balance, order, judgment of relative values, the laws of growth, the economy of living? very good things for anyone to be interested in. Robert Henri
Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them; but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents. Arthur Schopenhauer
Neil Gaiman quote: "And life is a good thing for a writer. It's where we get our..."
And life is a good thing for a writer. It's where we get our raw material, for a start. We quite like to stop and watch it. Neil Gaiman
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it’s a mistake to..."
Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it’s a mistake to make a habit of it. W. Somerset Maugham
I do not, in my private capacity, believe that a baby gets his best physical food by sucking his thumb; nor that a man gets his best moral food by sucking on his soul, and denying its dependence on God or other good things. I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder. Gilbert K. Chesterton
