You can be good for the mere sake of goodness; you cannot be bad for the mere sake of badness. You can do a kind action when you are not feeling kind and when it gives you no pleasure, simply because kindness is right; but no one ever did a cruel action simply because cruelty is wrong - only because cruelty is pleasant or useful to him, In other words, badness cannot succeed even in being bad in the same way in which goodness is good. Goodness is, so to speak, itself: badness is only spoiled... C. S. Lewis

I do not suppose I shall be remembered for anything. But I don't think about my work in those terms. It is just as vulgar to work for the sake of posterity as to work for the sake of money. Orson Welles
With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I'm going to press on for equality. I'm going to press on for the sake of our children. I'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I am going to press on. Barack Obama

For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends. Marcus Tullius Cicero
I'm not different for the sake of being different, only for the desperate sake of being myself. I can't join your gang: you'd think I was a phony and I'd know it. Vivian Stanshall
Martin Luther quote: "Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not..."
Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace. Martin Luther
A king is a thing men have made for their own sakes, for quietness sake. Just as in a family one man is appointed to buy the meat. John Selden
