Goodness Quotes (page 507)

William Wordsworth quote: "One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of..."
One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can. William Wordsworth
I think we ought to live happily ever after," and she thought he meant it. Sophie knew that living happily ever after with Howl would be a good deal more hair-raising than any storybook made it sound, though she was determined to try. "It should be hair-raising," added Howl. "And you'll exploit me," Sophie said."And then you'll cut up all my suits to teach me. Diana Wynne Jones
Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,) You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through... Walt Whitman

Which would you rather be if you had the choice--divinely beautiful or dazzlingly clever or angelically good? L. M. Montgomery

I cannot count the good people I know who to my mind would be even better if they bent their spirits to the study of their own hungers. M. F. K. Fisher
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead —his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled though it be with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties... Albert Einstein
L. M. Montgomery quote: "Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take..."
Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankfu? L. M. Montgomery
If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know? Jamie Oliver
Stephen King quote: "Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to..."
Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to club someone with it. Stephen King
Too much faith is the worst ally. When you believe in something literally, through your faith you'll turn it into something absurd. One who is a genuine adherent, if you like, of some political outlook, never takes its sophistries seriously, but only its practical aims, which are concealed beneath these sophistries. Political rhetoric and sophistries do not exist, after all, in order that they be believed; rather, they have to serve as a common and agreed upon alibi. Foolish people who take... Milan Kundera
To be stupid, and selfish, and to have good health are the three requirements for happiness - though if stupidity is lacking, the others are useless. Julian Barnes
There are a good many books, are there not, my boy? said Mr. Brownlow, observing the curiosity with which Oliver surveyed the shelves that reached from the floor to the ceiling. Charles Dickens
In what resides the most characteristic Virtue of humanity? In good works? Possibly. In the creation of beautiful objects? Perhaps. But some would look in a different direction, and find it in detachment. To all such David Hume must be a great saint in the calendar; for no mortal being was ever more completely divested of the trammels of the personal and the particular, none ever practiced with more consummated success the divine art of impartiality Lytton Strachey
