Goodness Quotes
-
Goodness means the highest degree of popularity.
Heinrich Mann
-
It is pleasant to be virtuous and good, because that is to excel many others; it is pleasant to grow better, because that is to excel ourselves; it is pleasant to mortify and subdue our lusts, because that is victory; it is pleasant to command our appetites and passions, and to keep them in due order within the bounds of reason and religion, because this is empire.
John Tillotson
-
I value niceness. But now, as a grown person, I value goodness above that. Because niceness doesn't change anything, and goodness changes things.
Josh Gondelman

Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts.
Molly Ivins
-
There can be no true goodness, nor true love, without the utmost clear-sightedness.
Albert Camus
-
I believe that the world isn't always what we can see...I believe there are secrets in the woods. And I believe that goodness wins out...So, if someone's changed overnight - by witch curse or poison apple or were-turtle - you have to show them what's good. You show them love. That works a surprising amount of the time.
Anne Ursu
-
How thick the fog is. I can't see the road. All the people in the world could pass by and I would never know. I wish it was always that way. It's getting dark already. It will soon be night, thank goodness.
Eugene O'Neill

The goodness of a thing created is the perfection of its fitness for the use which it serves. Now that use is either particular or universal.
William Ames

His blessings and His provisions for us are based entirely on HIS GOODNESS and HIS FAITHFULNESS.
Joseph Prince
-
Thus understanding and love, that is, the knowledge of and delight in the truth, are, as it were, the two arms of the soul, with which it embraces and comprehends with all the saints the length and breath, the height and depth, that is the eternity, the love, the goodness, and the wisdom of God.
Bernard of Clairvaux
-
Beauty is part of the finished language by which goodness speaks.
George Eliot
-
So great was my joy in God that I took no heed of looking at the angels and the saints, because all their goodness and all their beauty was from Him and in Him.
Angela of Foligno
-
In the annals of science fiction, where dystopias rule the imaginative roost, Star Trek stood nearly alone in telling us that our future would be better than our past, that our common problems would be solved, that we, as a species, were fundamentally good, and that the universe would reward us for our goodness.
Charles Shaar Murray
-
When goodness is lost, it is replaced by morality.
Lao Tzu

Unfortunately, goodness and honor are rather the exception than the rule among exceptional men, not to speak of geniuses
Cesare Lombroso
-
Goodness thinks no ill Where no ill seems.
John Milton
-
Let anyone who comes to you go away feeling better and happier. Everyone should see goodness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile. Joy shows from the eyes. It appears when we speak and walk. It cannot be kept closed inside us. It reacts outside. Joy is very infectious.
Mother Teresa
-
O God, do not leave me. I have done nothing good in Your sight, but according to Your goodness, let me now make a beginning of good.
Arsenius the Great
