Goodness Quotes (page 341)

You can't help it but you were born without a heart. At least you tried to believe what the people with hearts believed? so you were a good man just the same. Kurt Vonnegut
Frank Harris quote: "(...) always regretted that good memory often prevents us from..."
(...) always regretted that good memory often prevents us from thinking for ourselves. Frank Harris
Coming back is the thing that enables you to see how all the dots in your life are connected, how one decision leads you another, how one twist of fate, good or bad, brings you to a door that later takes you to another door, which aided by several detours--long hallways and unforeseen stairwells--eventually puts you in the place you are now. Ann Patchett
Oscar Wilde quote: "The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed..."
The nicest feeling in the world is to do a good deed anonymously-and have somebody find out. Oscar Wilde
Politics should be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage. Lucille Ball
I ain't got no people. I seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone. That ain't no good. They don't have no fun. After a long time they get mean. They get wantin' to fight all the time. . . 'Course Lennie's a God damn nuisance most of the time, but you get used to goin' around with a guy an' you can't get rid of him. John Steinbeck
We have different forms assigned to us in the school of life, different gifts imparted. All is not attractive that is good. Iron is useful, though it does not sparkle like the diamond. Gold has not the fragrance of a flower. So different persons have various modes of excellence, and we must have an eye to all. William Wilberforce
What are works of art for? to educate, to be standards. To produce is of little use unless what we produce is known, is widely known, the wider known the better, for it is by being known that it works, it influences, it does its duty, it does good. We must try, then, to be known, aim at it, take means to it. And this without puffing in the process or pride in the success. Gerard Manley Hopkins
Great art is always a way of concentrating, reinventing what is called fact, what we know of our existence- a reconcentratio? tearing away the veils, the attitudes people acquire of their time and earlier time. Really good artists tear down those veils Francis Bacon
We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good. Carl Sagan
Fulton J. Sheen quote: "Any book which inspires us to lead a better life is a good book."
Any book which inspires us to lead a better life is a good book. Fulton J. Sheen
This was another of our fears: that Life wouldn't turn out to be like Literature. Look at our parents--were they the stuff of Literature? At best, they might aspire to the condition of onlookers and bystanders, part of a social backdrop against which real, true, important things could happen. Like what? The things Literature was about: Love, sex, morality, friendship, happiness, suffering, betrayal, adultery, good and evil, heroes and villains, guilt and innocence, ambition, power, justice,... Julian Barnes
NOT to my contemporaries, not to my compatriots but to mankind I commit my now completed work in the confidence that it will not be without value for them, even if this should be late recognised, as is commonly the lot of what is good. For it cannot have been for the passing generation, engrossed with the delusion of the moment, that my mind, almost against my will, has uninterruptedly stuck to its work through the course of a long life. preface to the second edition of "the world as will and... Arthur Schopenhauer
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "The bad news is we don't have any control.The good news is we..."
The bad news is we don't have any control.The good news is we can't make any mistakes. Chuck Palahniuk
