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.
Quote by -Aristotle
Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
As long as diseases are rampant and millions of people in this world cannot expect to live more than twenty-eight or thirty years, I can never be totally healthy even if I just got a good checkup at Mayo Clinic.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.
Quote by -Buddha
Do good to the people for the sake of God or for the peace of your own soul that you may always see what is pure and save your heart from the darkness of hate.
Quote by -Rumi
However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?
Quote by -Buddha
Ceasing to do evil, cultivating the good, purifying the heart: this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
Quote by -Buddha
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill.
Quote by -Buddha
Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
I didn't feel like I was putting anything good into the world, even though it was funny. I wanted to do something more positive that would have an impact. So even when I'm doing naked push-ups or whatever, it's astounding to see how people respond to it.
Quote by -Zach Anner
The true master lives in truth, in goodness and restraint, non-violence, moderation, and purity.
Quote by -Buddha
“However many holy words you read, However many you speak, What good will they do you If you do not act on upon them?”
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
For friendship implies individuality; whereas comradeship really implies the temporary subordination, if not the temporary swamping of individuality. Friends are the better for being two; but comrades are the better for being two million.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, I feel good, and no one's gonna stop me now.
Quote by -Freddie Mercury
“It’s not that we don’t have enough scoundrels to curse; it’s that we don’t have enough good men to curse them.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
The word 'good' has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“When giving treats to friends or children, give them what they like, emphatically not what is good for them.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“Comforts that were rare among our forefathers are now multiplied in factories and handed out wholesale; and indeed, nobody nowadays, so long as he is content to go without air, space, quiet, decency and good manners, need be without anything whatever that he wants; or at least a reasonably cheap imitation of it.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
Better to know a few things which are good and necessary than many things which are useless and mediocre.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Truth, and goodness, and beauty are but different faces of the same all.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Do not waste yourself in rejection, nor bark against the bad, but chant the beauty of the good.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Some people cannot see a good thing when it is right here, right now. Others can sense a good thing coming when it is days, months, or miles away.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
Timidity makes a person modest. It makes him or her say, 'I'm not worthy of being written up in the record of deeds in heaven or on earth.' Timidity keeps people from their good. They are afraid to say, 'Yes, I deserve it.'
Quote by -Maya Angelou
When I was asked to do something good, I often say yes, I'll try, yes, I'll do my best. And part of that is believing, if God loves me, if God made everything from leaves to seals and oak trees, then what is it I can't do?
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I was very blessed to have family and friends, but particularly family, who told me I was not only all right, I was just right, so I believe that my brain is a good one, and it's lasting me very well.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
The meaning of good and bad, of better and worse, is simply helping or hurting.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
So is cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more remains.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
Your true character is most accurately measured by how you treat those who can do ‘Nothing’ for you.
Quote by -Mother Teresa
