#goodness

"It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers."

"Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day:- I shall not fear anyone on Earth. - I shall fear only God. - I shall not bear ill will toward anyone. - I shall not submit to injustice from anyone. - I shall conquer untruth by truth. And in resisting untruth, I shall put up with all suffering."

"The more details, depth and thought you put into your ideas the more valuable they become."

"When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better."

"There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth."

"it’s that sense of powerlessness that destroyed my soul. i cannot be as good as i would like to be.nor as bad as i think i need to be.i think you have the same doubts that your goodness was not rewarded"

"If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better."

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always."

"A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special."

"A pure heart is superlatively rare and even more attractive."

"Even if there were pains in Heaven, all who understand would desire them."

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently."

"God will never disappoint us… If deep in our hearts we suspect that God does not love us and cannot manage our affairs as well as we can, we certainly will not submit to His discipline. …To the unbeliever the fact of suffering only convinces him that God is not to be trusted, does not love us. To the believer, the opposite is true."

"Using your talent, hobby or profession in a way that makes you contribute with something good to this world is truly the way to go."

"That is why enemies can be great motivators. They serve as fuel for your fire."

"Real courage is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. Doing the unpopular thing because it's what you believe, and the heck with everybody."

"I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, "aw shit, he's up!"

"But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil."

"Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world."

"There are two things that men should never weary of, goodness and humility; we get none too much of them in this rough world among cold, proud people."
