There do remain dispersed in the soil of human nature divers seeds of goodness, of benignity, of ingenuity, which, being cherished, excited, and quickened by good culture, do, by common experience, thrust out flowers very lovely, and yield fruits very pleasant of virtue and goodness.

Since God is the highest good, he would not allow any evil to exist in his works unless his omnipotence and goodness were such as to bring good even out of evil.
Saint Augustine
Image
So we say, oh, my goodness we think we've found another Earth-like planet. We will start trying to figure out how to get there. And I have this strong belief that whatever we think we can do, whatever we can dream, we can do.
Morgan Freeman
Image
A good Soul hath neither too great joy, nor too great sorrow: for it rejoiceth in goodness and it sorroweth in wickedness. By the means whereof, when it beholdeth all things, and seeth the good and bad so mingled together, it can neither rejoice greatly nor be grieved with over much sorrow.
Pythagoras

God lives, but not as we. His creatures live but to die. But God is life. Therefore, goodness is not an attribute. Goodness is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Living or dead, to a good man there can come no evil.
Socrates
Image
To love someone is to acknowledge the goodness of who they are. Through loving a person we awaken their awareness of their own innate goodness. It is as though they cannot know how worthy they are until they look into the mirror of our love and see themselves.
John Gray
Image
None deserve praise for being good who have not the spirit to be bad: goodness, for the most part, is nothing but indolence or weakness of will.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
I want people to come away from my book with questions. Questions about virtue and goodness. Not answers.
Veronica Roth
Image
How lovely goodness is in those who, stepping lightly, go smiling through the world.
Virginia Woolf
Image
A saint is one who makes goodness attractive.
Laurence Housman

Never esteem men on account of their riches or their station. Respect goodness, find it where you may.
William Cobbett
Image
How happy the station which every moment furnishes opportunities of doing good to thousands! How dangerous that which every moment exposes to the injuring of millions!
Jean de la Bruyere
Image
If you're a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants.
Diane von Furstenberg

Dale Jamieson

I am miracle ingredient Z-247. I'm immense. I'm a real, slam-bang, honest-to-goodness, three-fisted humdinger. I'm a bona fide supraman.
