Goodness Quotes (page 228)

It had been devilish awkward, as the young men say, to be found by Juliana in the dead of night examining the attachment of her bureau; and it had not been less so to have to believe for a good many hours after that it was highly probable I had killed her. Henry James
There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known.

I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion. Jane Austen
Oscar Wilde quote: "I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being..."

Words - so innocent and powerless, as they are standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. Nathaniel Hawthorne
I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value. Richard P. Feynman
And now...farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude. I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked. Alexander Dumas
Crocodiles, you will say, are stationary. Mr. Waterton tells me that the crocodile does not change,—that a cayman, in fact, or an alligator, is just as good for riding upon as he was in the time of the Pharaohs. That may be; but the reason is that the crocodile does not live fast—he is a slow coach. I believe it is generally understood among naturalists that the crocodile is a blockhead. It is my own impression that the Pharaohs were also blockheads. Thomas de Quincey

If You can play Your stuff in a pub, then Youre a good band. Paul McCartney
