Wicked men obey from fear; good men, from love.

The true and the approximately true are apprehended by the same faculty; it may also be noted that men have a sufficient natural instinct for what is true, and usually do arrive at the truth. Hence the man who makes a good guess at truth is likely to make a good guess at probabilities.

It is easy to perform a good action, but not easy to acquire a settled habit of performing such actions.

He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.

He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.

Change in all things is sweet.

A good motivation and honesty bring self-confidence, which attracts the trust and respect of others. Therefore the real source of blessings is in our own mind.

The goal is not to be better than the other man, but your previous self.

It is under the greatest adversity that there exists the greatest potential for doing good, both for oneself and others.

Kindness and a good heart are the foundation for success in this life, progress on the spiritual path, and the fulfillment of our aspirations. Our need for them is not limited to any specific time, place, society, or culture.

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

A happy mind is a healthy mind, and a healthy mind is good for the body.

The little ones are the only good human beings.

I did something good for you just now. Before the sun goes down tonight, I want you to pass it on

A person can go along quite awhile if they get a good day every once and again.

Your first impulse is to share good news, your second is to club someone with it

If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed. 

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

I believe that whatever we do or live for has its causality; it is good, however, that we cannot see through to it.

One lives one’s life under constant tension, until it is time to go for good. 

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.

It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.
