Goodness Quotes (page 162)

Ella Wheeler Wilcox quote: "A poor original is better than a good imitation."
A poor original is better than a good imitation. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
So one must be resigned to being a clock that measures the passage of time, now out of order, now repaired, and whose mechanism generates despair and love as soon as its maker sets it going? Are we to grow used to the idea that every man relives ancient torments, which are all the more profound because they grow comic with repetition? That human existence should repeat itself, well and good, but that it should repeat itself like a hackneyed tune, or a record a drunkard keeps playing as he... Stanislaw Lem
Euripides quote: "The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no..."
The man is happiest who lives from day to day and asks no more, garnering the simple goodness of life. Euripides
I think by the time you're grown you're as happy as you're goin to be. You'll have good times and bad times, but in the end you'll be about as happy as you was before. Or as unhappy. I've knowed people that just never did get the hang of it. Cormac McCarthy
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times..."
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time. Friedrich Nietzsche
I think we ought to read only books that bite and sting us. If the book we are reading doesn’t shake us awake like a blow to the skull, why bother reading it in the first place? So it can make us happy? Good God, we’d be just as happy if we had no books at all… A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. Franz Kafka
As with companions so with books. We may choose those which will make us better, more intelligent, more appreciative of the good and the beautiful in the world, or we may choose the trashy, the vulgar, the obscene, which will make us feel as though we've been 'wallowing in the mire. David O. McKay
Thorne Smith quote: "She reads a lot of books. Good things, books."
She reads a lot of books. Good things, books. Thorne Smith
C. S. Lewis quote: "Be thou glad sleeper and thy sorrow offcast. I am the gate to..."
Be thou glad sleeper and thy sorrow offcast. I am the gate to all good adventure. C. S. Lewis
To be "in Christ" is to place one's trust in Him for salvation from sin. To be "in Christ" is to trust His goodness, not our own; to trust that His sacrificial death on the cross paid the complete debt of death we owe for our sin; to trust that His resurrection gives us eternal life instead of relying upon our own ability to please God. To be "in Christ" is to claim, by faith, the free gift of salvation. To be "in Christ" is to enjoy a completely restored relationship with our Father in... Charles R. Swindoll
[God] will not be used as a convenience. Men or nations who think they can revive the Faith in order to make a good society might just as well think they can use the stairs of heaven as a shortcut to the nearest chemist's shop. C. S. Lewis
Garth Brooks quote: "Time is on the side of all things good."
Time is on the side of all things good. Garth Brooks
Most people in this country are looking for literature that is useful. They feel that just exploring their feelings is good enough - they should be reading about leveraged buy-outs or how to get thin. We live in a culture that is so absolutely, madly focused on commercialism and on creating money and completely turned away from any other kind of creative value. People don't generally turn to poetry unless they're bereaved or have fallen in love. Or in adolescence, when their feelings are very... Erica Jong
The Official was bending over his desk, staring at the sergeant. "May I ask you a question?"Yes."Have you ever thought you were Christ?"I can't say that I have. But I have considered that God was good to me to let me find what I was looking for, if that's what you mean. Ray Bradbury
In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it. Abraham Lincoln
