Goodness Quotes
-
The whole universe is but the footprint of the Divine goodness.
Dante Alighieri
-
There are, then, these three means of effecting persuasion. The man who is to be in command of them must, it is clear, be able to reason logically, to understand human character and goodness in their various forms, and to understand the emotions--that is, to name them and describe them, to know their causes and the way in which they are excited.
Aristotle
-
God's goodness is the root of all goodness; and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.
William Tyndale
-
The good displeases us when we are not up to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
In the end, nature is inexorable: it has no reason to hurry and, sooner or later, it takes what belongs to it. Unconsciously and inflexibly obedient to its own laws, it doesn't know art, just as it doesn't know freedom, just as it doesn't know goodness.
Ivan Turgenev
-
The goodness or badness, justice or injustice, of laws varies of necessity with the constitution of states. This, however, is clear, that the laws must be adapted to the constitutions. But if so, true forms of government will of necessity have just laws, and perverted forms of government will have unjust laws.
Aristotle
-
The judge is not the knight-errant, roaming at will in pursuit of his own ideal of beauty or of goodness.
Benjamin Cardozo
-
Commanding goodness and forbiding to do evil (are) for the amendment and correction of society and the common folks.
Fatima bint Muhammad
-
We are here to add to the sum of human goodness. To prove the thing exists.
Josephine Hart
-
God made the world for the delight of human beings-- if we could see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we've waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us -- you just can't resist Him. I believe there's no such thing as luck in life, it's God's love, it's His.
Mother Teresa
-
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
-
Goodness transcends badness.
Clive Rowe
-
She is not old, she is not young, The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue. The haggard cheek, the hungering eye, The poisoned words that wildly fly, The famished face, the fevered hand, Who slights the worthiest in the land, Sneers at the just, contemns the brave, And blackens goodness in its grave.
William Watson
-
There is no thirst of the soul so consuming as the desire for pardon. The sense of its bestowal is the starting-point of all goodness. It comes bringing with it, if not the freshness of innocence, yet a glow of inspiration that nerves feeble hands for hard tasks, a fire of hope that lights anew the old high ideal, so that it stands before the eye in clear relief, beckoning to make it out on its own.
Charles Brent
-
Goodness strives not, and therefore it is not rebuked.
Lao Tzu
-
What's the meaning of goodness if there isn't a little badness to overcome?
Anne Revere
