What will it cost [a person] to be a true Christian? It will cost him his self-righteousn ess. He must cast away all pride and high thoughts, and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner, saved only by free grace, and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another.
J. C. Ryle
Image
You wake in the morning and proclaim yourself to be the bearer of goodness. I will bring good. I will attract good. I will create good. Good things happen to me, and my life is good. You start to move into the track of goodness, and that becomes a place of abundance, a place of rest, a place of relaxation, and a place of trust.
Agapi Stassinopoulos

Studies have shown touch to be the primary language of compassion, love and gratitude - emotions at the heart of trust and cooperation - even more than facial expressions and voice. Touch is the central medium in which the goodness of one individual can spread to another. Touch is the original contact high.

Goodness begins simply with the fact of life itself.
Gwendolyn Brooks

The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves.

There is always more goodness in the world than there appears to be, because goodness is of its very nature modest and retiring.
Evelyn Beatrice Hall
Image
The sanguine assurance that men and nations can be legislated into goodness, that pressure from without is equivalent to a moral change within, needs a strong backing of inexperience.
Agnes Repplier
Image
Families have a citizenship which is divine. The identity card they have is given to them by God. So that within the heart of the family, truth, goodness and beauty may truly grow.
Pope Francis
Image
One whiff of a savory aromatic soup and appetites come to attention. The steaming fragrance of a tempting soup is a prelude to the goodness to come. An inspired soup puts family and guests in a receptive mood for enjoying the rest of the menu.
Louis Pullig De Gouy
Image
He who believes in goodness has the essence of all faith. He is a man of cheerful yesterdays and confident to-morrows.
James Freeman Clarke
Image
Loving-kindness is the better part of goodness. It lends grace to the sterner qualities of which this consists.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
The good want power, but to weep barren tears. The powerful goodness want: worse need for them. The wise want love and those who love want wisdom.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Image
A good man will honor him who lives up to his religious profession, whatever it be.
Samuel Richardson
Image
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 goodness. Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Contrary to all the blather we here about the unique goodness of the American people or our religious heritage or anything else, the one thing that set this country apart from all others was the Bill of Rights.
Harry Browne
Image
My metaphor is that evil always has a top hat and a cape, and goodness is over there in the corner. For me it's just too easy, if you hate your country or your wife, so you kill them. You can't think through that, you can't feel through that, you can't do the work. And now we have guns. Solution? I don't think so.
Toni Morrison
Image

Jerry Bridges
Image
It is difficult to bring people to goodness with lessons, but it is easy to do so by example.
Seneca the Younger
Image
Whatever may be the mysteries of life and death, there is one mystery which the cross of Christ reveals to us, and that is the infinite and absolute goodness of God. Let all the rest remain a mystery so long as the mystery of the cross of Christ gives us faith for all the rest.
Charles Kingsley
Image
Enlightened Society is all about nurturing the human spirit - waking up to the goodness, kindness and strength that we already have.
Sakyong Mipham
Image
The value of culture is its effect on character. It avails nothing unless it ennobles and strengthens that. Its use is for life. Its aim is not beauty but goodness.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
I've never had any desire to be good. I don't like goodness particularly.
