"To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, are the two greatest proofs, not only of goodness of heart, but of strength of mind."	Paul Aubuchon
"We are here on earth to do good for others. What the others are here for, I don't know."	Wystan Hugh Auden
"Goodness is easier to recognize than to define."	Wystan Hugh Auden
"A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently."	Saint Augustine
"The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell."	Saint Augustine
"We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne."	Marcus Aelius Aurelius
"Death hangs over thee, While thou still live, while thou may, do good."	Marcus Aelius Aurelius
"Life itself is neither good nor evil, but only a place for good and evil."	Marcus Aelius Aurelius
"He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator."	Sir Francis Bacon
"Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper."	Sir Francis Bacon
"A group of politicians deciding to dump a President because his morals are bad is like the Mafia getting together to bump off the Godfather for not going to church on Sunday."	Russell Wayne Baker
"The instinct to command others, in its primitive essence, is a carnivorous, altogether bestial and savage instinct. Under the influence of the mental development of man, it takes on a somewhat more ideal form and becomes somewhat ennobled, presenting itself as the instrument of reason and the devoted servant of that abstraction, or political fiction, which is called the public good. But in its essence it remains just as baneful, and it becomes even more so when, with the application of science, it extends its scope and intensifies the power of its action. If there is a devil in history, it is this power principle."	Mikhail Aleksandrovich Bakunin
"It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time."	Tallulah Brockman Bankhead
"The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not."	Charles Barkley
"The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil."	Georges Bataille
"A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot."	Alan Marshall Beck
"Happiness is good health and a bad memory."	Ingrid Bergman
"Habits...the only reason they persist is that they are offering some satisfaction...You allow them to persist by not seeking any other, better form of satisfying the same needs. Every habit, good or bad, is acquired and learned in the same way - by finding that it is a means of satisfaction."	Juliene Berk
"Callous, adj. Gifted with great fortitude to bear the evils afflicting another."	Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
"The true fanatic is a theocrat, someone who sees himself as acting on behalf of some super personal force: the Race, the Party, History, the proletariat, the Poor, and so on. These absolve him from evil, hence he may safely do anything in their service."	Lord Billingsley
