Goodness Quotes (page 415)

Charles Dickens quote: "Try not to associate bodily defect with mental, my good..."
Try not to associate bodily defect with mental, my good friend, except for a solid reason Charles Dickens
Readers of a certain class are apt to call good the plot of that story in which "you can't tell what is going to happen next." But in some of the most tedious novels ever written you can't tell what is going to happen next--and you don't care a fig what is going to happen next. Arnold Bennett
It is a curious feature of our existance that we come from a planet that is very good at promoting life but even better at extinguishing it. Bill Bryson
But because their ancestors were men of righteousness, shall we consent to the abuses of their degenerate descendants? Because they did us a great good, would we be guilty if we prevented them from doing us evil? Jose Rizal
It is well, I think, for us to learn to tell evil from good; but it has its price, as everything does. We leave our evil friend behind. Gene Wolfe
My life now, my whole life, regardless of all that may happen to me, every minute of it, is not only not meaningless, as it was before, but has the unquestionable meaning of the good which it is in my power to put into it! Leo Tolstoy
Pretty soon I wanted to smoke, and asked the widow to let me. But she wouldn't. She said it was a mean practice and wasn't clean, and I must try to not do it any more. That is just the way with some people. They get down on a thing when they don't know nothing about it. Here she was a-bothering about Moses, which was no kin to her, and no use to anybody, being gone, you see, yet finding a power of fault with me for doing a thing that had some good in it. And she took snuff, too; of course... Mark Twain
A typical National World Weekly would tell the world how Jesus' face was seen on a Big Mac bun bought by someone from Des Moines, with an artist's impression of the bun; how Elvis Presley was recently sighted working in a Burger Lord in Des Moines; how listening to Elvis records cured a Des Moines housewife's cancer; how the spate of werewolves infesting the Midwest are the offspring of noble pioneer women raped by Bigfoot; and that Elvis was taken by Space Aliens in 1976 because he was too... Neil Gaiman
Shake hands, we shall never be friends; give over: I only vex you the more I try. All's wrong that ever I've done and said, And nought to help it in this dull head: Shake hands, goodnight, goodbye. But if you come to a road where danger Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share, Be good to the lad that loves you true. And the soul that was born to die for you, And whistle and I'll be there. A. E. Housman
Larry McMurtry quote: "I suppose you set up reading the Good Book all night-spoken by..."
I suppose you set up reading the Good Book all night-spoken by Woodrow Call Larry McMurtry
No, it's not that they're bad. It's that they're obliged to pretend they're good. They've been brought up to deceive and be cunning, to protect themselves from our society. I don't want to be like that. Carlos Fuentes
Tom Robbins quote: "How can men be such lummoxes, such wads of chewing gum on our..."
How can men be such lummoxes, such wads of chewing gum on our ballet slippers and still feel so good? Tom Robbins
Seth Godin quote: "Soon is not as good as now."
Soon is not as good as now. Seth Godin

There is a fatality about good resolutions? that they are always made too late Oscar Wilde
O, the lessons here for us! Name your discouraging setback—personal, political, scholarly, ecclesiastical, cultural, global. Dare any Christian say that God is not in this for the good of his people and the glory of his name? Not if our God is the God of Ezra!
