Goodness Quotes (page 365)

Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given you by God. If you devoted every moment of your whole life exclusively to His service you could not give Him anything that was not in a sense his own already ... It is like a small child going to its father and saying, 'Daddy, give me sixpence to buy you a birthday present.' It is all very nice and proper, but only an idiot would think that the father is sixpence to the good on the transaction. C. S. Lewis
Think it a vile habit to alter works of good composers, to omit parts of them, or to insert new-fashioned ornaments. This is the greatest insult you can offer to Art. Robert Schumann
The things that make you a functional citizen in society - manners, discretion, cordiality - don't necessarily make you a good writer. Writing needs raw truth, wants your suffering and darkness on the table, revels in a cutting mind that takes no prisoners... Natalie Goldberg
If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor. We must know all the facts and hear all the alternatives and listen to all the criticisms. Let us welcome controversial books and controversial authors. For the Bill of Rights is the guardian of our security as well as our liberty. John F. Kennedy
Terry Prachett quote: "Granny was an old-fashioned witch. She didn’t do good for..."
Granny was an old-fashioned witch. She didn’t do good for people, she did right by them. Terry Prachett
I have had friends who I decided were not good friends, were people who brought more trouble than happiness, and thus I have found ways to create more distance between us. Now I have the same thoughts about God, my faith, that I had for these friends. God is in my life but I do not depend on him. My God is not a reliable God. Dave Eggers
I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity. Science sometimes... Erwin Schrodinger
Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything. Fulton J. Sheen
Our Beasts and our Thieves and our Chattels. Have weight for good or for ill; But the Poor are only His image, His presence, His word, His will; -And so Lazarus lies at our doorstep. And Dives neglects him still. Adelaide Anne Procter
Materialism, attachment to things of the world, includes pride. Many religious people suffer from pride: taking pleasure or even delight in being good, or religious. Idries Shah
It was in the reign of George II. that the above-named personages lived and quarrelled ; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now William Makepeace Thackeray
Virginia Woolf quote: "The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens..."
The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments. Virginia Woolf
Generally, people who are good at writing letters have no need to write letters. They've got plenty of life to lead inside their own context. Haruki Murakami
So the hours are pretty good then?' he resumed. The Vogon stared down at him as sluggish thoughts moiled around in the murky depths. Yeah,' he said, 'but now you come to mention it, most of the actual minutes are pretty lousy. Douglas Adams
Roger Zelazny quote: "Don't wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good..."
Don't wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good special effects. Roger Zelazny
