When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them?' 'You wouldn't want to. That's what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad. ~ Jeanne DuPrau
To Be Good quotes by Jeanne DuPrau
XIV. Of all men they alone are at leisure who take time for philosophy, they alone really live; for they are not content to be good guardians of their own lifetime only. They annex ever age to their own; all the years that have gone ore them are an addition to their store. Unless we are most ungrateful, all those men, glorious fashioners of holy thoughts, were born for us; for us they have prepared a way of life. By other men's labours we are led to the sight of things most beautiful that have been wrested from darkness and brought into light; from no age are we shut out, we have access to all ages, and if it is our wish, by greatness of mind, to pass beyond the narrow limits of human weakness, there is a great stretch of time through which we may roam. We may argue with Socrates, we may doubt32 with Carneades, find peace with Epicurus, overcome human nature with the Stoics, exceed it with the Cynics. Since Nature allows us to enter into fellowship with every age, why should we not turn from this paltry and fleeting span of time and surrender ourselves with all our soul to the past, which is boundless, which is eternal, which we share with our betters? ~ Giordano Bruno
To Be Good quotes by Giordano Bruno
Continuing to tell stories of shortage only continues to contradict your desire for abundance, and you cannot have it both ways: You cannot focus upon unwanted and recieve wanted. You cannot focus upon stories about money that make you feel uncomfortable and allow into your experience what makes you feel comfortable. A different story will bring different results: My thoughts are the basis for the attraction of all things that I consider to be good, which includes enough money, and health, for my comfort and joy. ~ Abraham Hicks
To Be Good quotes by Abraham Hicks
When you raise children very well, you prepare them to be good men and good women in the future. Raising children is hard and challenging, but it worth all the efforts. When your children tire you, remember that they are the saplings of the future, these are the people who will repay you for taking care of them and will take care of their communities as well. ~ Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
To Be Good quotes by Noora Ahmed Alsuwaidi
The fear programme is designed to get us away from things that are likely to harm us. If we had to make an analogous claim about the purpose of the happiness system, we would be most likely to say that it is there to keep us moving towards things that are likely to be good for us in some appropriate biological sense
mating, good food, pleasant environment
and away from things that are bad for us. ~ Daniel Nettle
To Be Good quotes by Daniel Nettle
He, unfortunately for himself, had been beautifully brought up. His teacher had educated him as the child is educated in the womb, where it lives the history of man from fish to mammal
and, like the child in the womb, he had been protected with love meanwhile. The effect of such an education was that he had grown up without any of the useful accomplishments for living
without malice, vanity, suspicion, cruelty, and the commoner forms of selfishness. Jealousy seemed to him the most ignoble of vices. He was sadly unfitted for hating his best friend or torturing his wife. He had been given too much love and trust to be good at these things. ~ T.H. White
To Be Good quotes by T.H. White
Children," Mrs. Oakenfeld sighed.
"I do not want you to be good to avoid being punished. I do not want you to be good so that you can receive rewards. I want you to be good," she stressed, "because it is the right thing to do.
You are very formidable adversaries, but don't you see that when you work against eachother, you just cancel eachother out? ~ Dale Peck
To Be Good quotes by Dale Peck
Sex and politics are a lot alike. You don't have to be good at them to enjoy them. ~ Barry M. Goldwater
To Be Good quotes by Barry M. Goldwater
You've got to be good to each other ... it really comes back to respect. I was raised in a very Catholic, Italian family and it was all about respect. Don't talk badly about [your partner] the second they walk out the door; really preserve your relationship and be good to each other. Treat it like gold. ~ Giuliana Rancic
To Be Good quotes by Giuliana Rancic
The dilemma for women who love to write may not have so much to do with finding the elusive literary voice, as with being reluctant to use the one that's already lurking inside, just waiting for the chance to speak up. Many of us, especiall,y those from the generations taught to be good, accommodating girls, are afraid of sounding too strong, too loud, too unconventional, or simply too much like the self we're afraid to reveal to the world. Most of us have at least an inkling of what form our writing voice should take, if only we might find the courage to reveal it. ~ Nava Atlas
To Be Good quotes by Nava Atlas
You may be good, but what are you good for? You've got to be good for something. You've got to be about some project, some task that requires you to be humble and obedient to the universal principles of service. You've got to live a life of complete and total integrity in order to give this kind of service. This integrity enables you to love other people unconditionally, to be courageous and kind at the same time, because you have integratedness inside your own soul. ~ Stephen Covey
To Be Good quotes by Stephen Covey
PRETENDING TO DROWN

The only regret is that I waited
longer than a breath
to scatter the sun's reflection
with my body.

New stars burst upon the water
when you pulled me in.

On the shore, our clothes
begged us to be good boys again.

Every stick our feet touched
a snapping turtle, every shadow
a water moccasin.

Excuses to swim closer to one another.

I sank into the depths to see you
as the lake saw you: cut in half
by the surface, taut legs kicking,
the rest of you sky.

Suddenly still, a clear view
of what you knew I wanted
to see.

When I resurfaced, slick grin,
knowing glance; you pushed me
back under.

I pretended to drown,
then swallowed you whole. ~ Saeed Jones
To Be Good quotes by Saeed Jones
Those times, against all expectations, were turning out to be good times. Then he felt afraid, because he knew they couldn't last long and those stolen drops of happiness and peace would evaporate. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
To Be Good quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
In such systems, there is unquestioning respect for authority. Faith trumps evidence. But if indeed this is broadly the explanation for how co-operative behaviour has evolved and been maintained in human societies, it could be very bad news. Because although such authoritarian systems seem to be good at preserving social coherence and an orderly society, they are, by the same token, not good at adapting to change. ~ Robert May, Baron May Of Oxford
To Be Good quotes by Robert May, Baron May Of Oxford
To be good or bad doesn't count: life out in this world doesn't depend on that. It depends on a relation of forces based on violence. And survival is violence. You'll wear leather shoes because someone has killed a cow and skinned it to make leather. ~ Oriana Fallaci
To Be Good quotes by Oriana Fallaci
It matters not to be a Jewish or a Muslim or a Christian! What really matters is to be good by heart, to be honest and fair! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
To Be Good quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for. ~ Deb Caletti
To Be Good quotes by Deb Caletti
The kingdom of heaven promised us certain things: it promised us happiness and a sense of purpose and a sense of having a place in the universe, of having a role and a destiny that were noble and splendid; and so we were connected to things. We were not alienated. But now that, for me anyway, the King is dead, I find that I still need these things that heaven promised, and I'm not willing to live without them. I don't think I will continue to live after I'm dead, so if I am to achieve these things I must try to bring them about – and encourage other people to bring them about – on earth, in a republic in which we are all free and equal – and responsible – citizens.

Now, what does this involve? It involves all the best qualities of things. We mustn't shut anything out. If the Church has told us, for example, that forgiving our enemies is good, and if that seems to be a good thing to do, we must do it. If, on the other hand, those who struggled against the Church have shown us that free enquiry and unfettered scientific exploration is good – and I believe that they have – then we must hold this up as a good as well.

Whatever we can find that we feel to be good – and not just feel but can see with the accumulated wisdom that we have as we grow up, and read about history and learn from our own experiences and so on – wherever they come from, and whoever taught them in the first place, let's use them and do whatever we can do to make the world a little bit ~ Philip Pullman
To Be Good quotes by Philip Pullman
A philosophy of work is essential if we would be whole men, holy men, healthy men, joyous men. A certain amount of goods is necessary for a man to lead a good life, and we have to make that kind of society where it is easier for men to be good. ~ Dorothy Day
To Be Good quotes by Dorothy Day
We don't have to be good, you know? No one's telling us that we have to do good things, but we do them because we know it makes other people feel good and it makes us feel good. ~ Michael Franti
To Be Good quotes by Michael Franti
Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad. ~ Thomas Paine
To Be Good quotes by Thomas Paine
We all do what we can, and it has to be good enough, and if it isn't good enough, it has to do. ~ Stephen King
To Be Good quotes by Stephen King
It is only people who are lacking, or bad, or inferior, who have to be good at things. You have always been full and perfect, so you had nothing to make up for. ~ T.H. White
To Be Good quotes by T.H. White
How wholesome winter is, seen far or near; how good, above all mere sentimental, warm-blooded, short-lived, soft-hearted, moral goodness, commonly so called. Give me the goodness which has forgotten its own deeds,
which God has seen to be good, and let be. ~ Henry David Thoreau
To Be Good quotes by Henry David Thoreau
As they embrace, she kisses him full on the mouth. And suddenly sticks her tongue right in. She has done this before, often. It's one of those drunken long shots which just might, at least theoretically, once in ten thousand tries, throw a relationship right out of its orbit and send it whizzing off on another. Do women ever stop trying? No. But, because they never stop, they learn to be good losers. ~ Christopher Isherwood
To Be Good quotes by Christopher Isherwood
Most moms and dads, they want to be good moms and dads. But it's an incredibly hard job when you are stressed out, when you are poor, when your life is in chaos. And giving them some of the tools to be better parents, to whittle away at that parenting gap, gives those kids a much better starting point in life. ~ Nicholas Kristof
To Be Good quotes by Nicholas Kristof
As Einstein said, 'If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. ' Michael Shermer, In The Science of Good and Evil, calls it a debate stopper. If you agree that, in the absence of God, you would 'commit robbery, rape, and murder', you reveal yourself as an immoral person, 'and we would be well advised to steer a wide course around you'. If, on the other hand, you admit that you would continue to be a good person even when not under divine surveillance, you have fatally undermined your claim that God is necessary for us to be good. ~ Richard Dawkins
To Be Good quotes by Richard Dawkins
It's a strange thing to have a successful television show because if it's too interesting ... people don't really pay attention when they watch TV. It has to be good, but not so interesting that you really have to pay attention because people multitask. So, if a show demands your entire attention, it has a tough time making it. ~ Kurt Fuller
To Be Good quotes by Kurt Fuller
Yeah, he'd been trained to be good with details, but once his dick started working, his brain generally shifted to standby. ~ Pamela Clare
To Be Good quotes by Pamela Clare
If 10% is good enough for God, 9% ought to be good enough for the federal government. ~ Herman Cain
To Be Good quotes by Herman Cain
The difference between design and research seems to be a question of new versus good. Design doesn't have to be new, but it has to be good. Research doesn't have to be good, but it has to be new. I think these two paths converge at the top: the best design surpasses its predecessors by using new ideas, and the best research solves problems that are not only new, but worth solving. So ultimately design and research are aiming for the same destination, just approaching it from different directions. ~ Paul Graham
To Be Good quotes by Paul Graham
As a parent we have to remember it was not the children's decision to be born it was ours, so let's love, cherish, and teach them to be good fruitful and productive people in the society !

Parents, "God give us children for joy and cherish-meant,and not for punishment ~ "Beta" Metani' Marashi
To Be Good quotes by
I don't know, but I think it's going to be good. ~ Richelle Mead
To Be Good quotes by Richelle Mead
A man who wishes to make a profession of goodness in everything must necessarily come to grief among so many who are not good. Therefore, it is necessary for a Prince who wishes to maintain himself to learn how not to be good and to use this knowledge and not use it according to the necessity of the case ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
To Be Good quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
In itself, no doubt, the natural and moderate satisfaction of the sexual instinct is a matter quite indifferent to morality. It is only in relation to something else that the satisfaction of a natural instinct can be said to be good or bad. ~ Aldous Huxley
To Be Good quotes by Aldous Huxley
I think imperfections are important, just as mistakes are important. You only get to be good by making mistakes, and you only get to be real by being imperfect. ~ Julianne Moore
To Be Good quotes by Julianne Moore
It is hard enough to be good at all, but to be good in comedy speaks for your character. ~ Roger Ebert
To Be Good quotes by Roger Ebert
I did," Henric said, with a triumphant look.
"Oh," Meena said, opening the book to the page 74, the one from her dream. "You mean this
prince?" She pointed at the illustration of Lucifer.
Henric's grin faltered slightly. "Precisely."
"He's not a prince," Meena said. "As you know perfectly well, he's a fallen angel. And what was
Lucien's mother?"
"A p-princess," Henric stammered. But there was terror in his eyes.
"No," Lucien said, shaking his head. "She was an angel."
Meena swung around to look at him. Tears glittered in her eyes as she gazed up into his, which
had gone back to their normal deep brown.
"Yes, Lucien," she said, holding the book open in front of him. "That's why Henric was trying to
keep this from you. Because he realized it was the one thing that might help you remember what your
mother always taught you. You, of all people, really do have a choice. You can choose to be good . . .
because you are part good. No matter how hard you try to be the devil's son, you've still got an angel for
a mother. ~ Meg Cabot
To Be Good quotes by Meg Cabot
In each moment is a choice. You can choose to be good or to be bad. To be active or inactive in the pursuit of dreams. A choice to change your life or to stay where you are. There is always a choice to be made. ~ Avina Celeste
To Be Good quotes by Avina Celeste
It is essential to naturalist doctrine that literature, to be good, must, finally, be the author's experience worked out literally. ~ Gore Vidal
To Be Good quotes by Gore Vidal
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But ... it is better to be good than to be ugly. ~ Oscar Wilde
To Be Good quotes by Oscar Wilde
I honestly think that with our generation - Alex Wang, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Christian Cota, Robert Geller - there's a different expectation of what our behavior should be. People expect designers to be good businesspeople and PR people, and I don't think partying is a part of that persona the way it used to be. ~ Joseph Altuzarra
To Be Good quotes by Joseph Altuzarra
It doesn't take much to be good, but it takes a lot to be real good. ~ Billy Gibbons
To Be Good quotes by Billy Gibbons
I think it is really a personal journey of purification, rather than whether something external is going to be good or bad. Anything external will always live in that polarity - a combination of good and bad. ~ Karan Bajaj
To Be Good quotes by Karan Bajaj
Because I know what it's like to feel alone. I know what it's like to live in a paper world, to be good at hurting people, to think everybody should just shut up and do what you say.
And then I remember that deep down, people are good, everybody's trying, and nobody deserves respect just for being powerful.
So if I've got the voice in my head that tells me to crush people, then I think you probably have the voice that says the other thing too. If people keep calling us heroes and villains, they'll never know how close we came to listening to the other voice all those times. ~ Brennan Lee Mulligan
To Be Good quotes by Brennan Lee Mulligan
You try to be good, to be good and loving and nice and not hard, not tough, a sweet nice girl, not ugly, not full of ugliness, but people make it impossible. ~ Michelle Tea
To Be Good quotes by Michelle Tea
It's simple. If you go to see 'Saturday Night Fever' expecting it to be good, it's a corker. However, if you go expecting it to be a crock of shit, it's that, too. Thus 'Saturday Night Fever' can exist in two mutually opposing states at the very same time, yet only by the weight of our expectations. From this principle we can deduce that any opposing states can be governed by human expectation - even, as in the case of retro-deficit-engineering, the present use of a future technology."
"I think I understand that. Does it work with any John Travolta movie?"
"Only the artistically ambiguous ones such as 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Face/Off.' 'Battlefield Earth' doesn't work, because it's a stinker no matter how much you think you're going to like it, and 'Get Shorty' doesn't work either, because you'd be hard-pressed not to enjoy it, irrespective of any preconceived notions. ~ Jasper Fforde
To Be Good quotes by Jasper Fforde
My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough, and I really through and through believe it in my heart that I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be. ~ Abby Wambach
To Be Good quotes by Abby Wambach
God is reaching out to us, wanting us to see we need him. But since he is God, we think he wants some song and dance from us - in other words, behavior modification. He actually just wants us. He longs to set us free. And yes, to accomplish all that, he wants us entirely. God is home to us. He is where we were made to be. He is what we were made for. We just forget all that while we are trying to be good and independent. ~ Jennie Allen
To Be Good quotes by Jennie Allen
They had a silent staring contest, but Percy didn't back down. When he and Annabeth started dating, his mother had drummed it into his head: It's good manners to walk your date to the door. If that was true, it had to be good manners to walk her to the start of her epic solo death quest. ~ Rick Riordan
To Be Good quotes by Rick Riordan
Pick something you aren't just able to do; instead, pick something you feel like you were made to do and then do lots of that. You weren't just an incredible idea that God never got around to making. The next step happened for the world when God dropped you on the planet ... God decided to have us intersect history, not at just any time, but at this time. He made us to be good at a few things and bad at a couple of others. He made us to love some things and not like others. Most of all, He made us to dream ... We're part of God's much bigger plan for the whole world. Just like God's Son arrived here, so did you. And after Jesus arrived, God whispered to all of humanity ... It's your move. ~ Bob Goff
To Be Good quotes by Bob Goff
I consider books to be good for our health, and also our spirits, and they help us to become poets or scientists, to understand the stars or else to discover them deep within the aspirations of certain characters, those who sometimes, on certain evenings, escape from the pages and walk among us humans, perhaps the most human of us all. ~ Jose Saramago
To Be Good quotes by Jose Saramago
I hate that just because you happen to be good at something,people automatically think that's what makes you happy,but it's not really like that, you know? It's not that simple. ~ Amber Smith
To Be Good quotes by Amber Smith
It's amazing, the mentality shift that occurs in pregnancy. All of a sudden you want to be good to yourself. ~ Elisabeth Hasselbeck
To Be Good quotes by Elisabeth Hasselbeck
One must apply one's reason to everything here, learning to obey, to shut up, to help, to be good, to give in, and I don't know what else. I'm afraid I shall use up all my brains too quickly, and I haven't got so very many. Then I shall not have any left for when the war is over. ~ Anne Frank
To Be Good quotes by Anne Frank
For the most part, however, Lady in the Water comes across as a movie that's too bad to be good, and not bad enough to be so bad that it's good. ~ James Berardinelli
To Be Good quotes by James Berardinelli
By characterizing the use of illegal drugs as quasi-legal, state-sanctioned, Saturday afternoon fun, legalizers destabilize the societal norm that drug use is dangerous. They undercut the goals of stopping the initiation of drug use to prevent addiction ... Children entering drug abuse treatment routinely report that they heard that 'pot is medicine' and, therefore, believed it to be good for them. ~ Andrea Barthwell
To Be Good quotes by Andrea Barthwell
She felt safe for a while and derived solace from the reflection that there would always be church. If she were a governess all her life there would be church. There was a little sting of guilt in the thought. It would be practising deception.... To despise it all, to hate the minister and the choir and the congregation and yet to come - running - she could imagine herself all her life running, at least in her mind, weekly to some church - working her fingers into their gloves and pretending to take everything for granted and to be just like everybody else and really thinking only of getting into a quiet pew and ceasing to pretend. It was wrong to use church like that. She was wrong - all wrong. It couldn't be helped. Who was there who could help her? She imagined herself going to a clergyman and saying she was bad and wanted to be good - even crying. He would be kind and would pray and smile - and she would be told to listen to sermons in the right spirit. She could never do that.... There she felt she was on solid ground. Listening to sermons was wrong... people ought to refuse to be preached at by these men. Trying to listen to them made her more furious than anything she could think of, more base in submitting... those men's sermons were worse than women's smiles... just as insincere at any rate... and you could get away from the smiles, make it plain you did not agree and that things were not simple and settled... but you could not stop a sermon. It was so unfair. The se ~ Dorothy M. Richardson
To Be Good quotes by Dorothy M. Richardson
For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared
to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side. ~ Bill Shankly
To Be Good quotes by Bill Shankly
What you think in your own mind to be good, or what people of the world think is good, is not necessarily good. ~ Dogen
To Be Good quotes by Dogen
He was scowling. "What the hell? If I had a daughter and she was dating a guy like me, I'd take him out back and threaten him with a shotgun to make sure he treated her right."

Kit's mouth fell open. "You?"

"Yeah." He folded his arms, his scowl growing heavier. "Jeez, Kit, he didn't even tell me to be good to you. That's bullshit."

Realizing he was dead serious, she bit the inside of her cheek to keep from smiling. "Where did you pick up this chivalrous instinct?"

"My father," he said, the sneer that usually accompanied any mention of Robert St. John missing from his voice. "He's a son of a bitch, but he brought me up to look after any women under my care."

"Under your care?" Kit raised an eyebrow. "Chauvinistic much?"

He shrugged. "Yeah, well, maybe it is, but I'm not changing. My imaginary daughters are never dating musicians. Ever."

Stomach somersaulting at the idea of little girls with Noah's features and talent, she shook her head. "Noah St. John, bad boy of rock and concerned father of imaginary daughters. Hell hath frozen over and become an ice rink. ~ Nalini Singh
To Be Good quotes by Nalini Singh
To be good is an unnatural condition. There is no man that is born knowing what humility is, what kindness and compassion and hope and love and generosity are. These are things that must be learned. Learned through trials and through pain and through suffering; held onto every inch of the way. Good is not born, it is made ~ Carlos Ramirez
To Be Good quotes by Carlos Ramirez
My larger point is that since each of us struggles daily with good and bad impulses, we might want to restructure our social institutions in order to make it a little easier to be good. ~ Richard D. Kahlenberg
To Be Good quotes by Richard D. Kahlenberg
If you didn't like it, why didn't you quit?
To do what? Wasn't anything I knew better than farming. I was cursed, that was the problem. Just because I didn't like it didn't mean I wasn't good at it ... It's a curse all right, you're just too young to know about that sort of thing. To be good at something you don't care about? ~ David Wroblewski
To Be Good quotes by David Wroblewski
If you love the truth, you'll trust it - that is, you will expect it to be good, beautiful, perfect, orderly, etc., in the long run, not necessarily in the short run. ~ Abraham Maslow
To Be Good quotes by Abraham Maslow
Few people would dream of hiring a contractor to build them a house and expect it to be built to a safe standard only 85 percent of the time; similarly, few people would want to eat out in a restaurant where only 85 percent of the meals were safe to eat. Why then do we accept such sloppiness in road safety, where a situation in which 85 percent of drivers going the speed limit is deemed to be good enough? ~ Neil Arason
To Be Good quotes by Neil Arason
As well, there's the age-old syndrome common to fans of musicians with passionate and discerning cult followings. When the objects of adulation are crass enough to become popular, they quickly become a case of "used to be good. ~ Anthony Bourdain
To Be Good quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Some boys . . . they are just better when they're bad. Bax is one of them and I'm starting to think my brother might be one of them, too. I just have to be good enough for all of us to balance it out. ~ Jay Crownover
To Be Good quotes by Jay Crownover
A pitcher's got to be good and he's got to be lucky to get a no hit game. ~ Cy Young
To Be Good quotes by Cy Young
I find the title How to Be Good. Curious, I open it up. I'm disappointed to find it's fiction. ~ Jael McHenry
To Be Good quotes by Jael McHenry
We were working with this lousy print and it just wasn't going to be good enough. I said that we should get the original negative and do it from that. Well, a couple guys pointed out that the negative was locked up over at Deluxe. ~ David Fincher
To Be Good quotes by David Fincher
It is not being out at heels that makes a man discontented, it is being out at heart. To be contented is to be good friends with yourself. ~ Bliss Carman
To Be Good quotes by Bliss Carman
Data is very important, but you have to be good at reading the data in an emotional way. If you look at a selling report, there's an emotional trend to what's selling. ~ Mickey Drexler
To Be Good quotes by Mickey Drexler
Silver was too hard to be good ammunition. ~ Patricia Briggs
To Be Good quotes by Patricia Briggs
I always wanted to be good at something, to be somebody. The minute I got into my first play, which was called 'Excuse My Dust' - I was 17 at the time - I knew that this was what I'd been looking for. ~ Geraldine Page
To Be Good quotes by Geraldine Page
What is a good enough principle for an American citizen ought to be good enough for the working man to follow. ~ Mary Harris Jones
To Be Good quotes by Mary Harris Jones
I'm having a great career, though I think I'm not as good as your little scenario makes me out to be. ~ Kristin Davis
To Be Good quotes by Kristin Davis
We should not expect people to be good, but should make it impossible for them to be bad. ~ Lin Yutang
To Be Good quotes by Lin Yutang
One good way of measuring the mood in Israel is just how alert or relaxed the guards at every restaurant entrance appear to be. ~ Elliott Abrams
To Be Good quotes by Elliott Abrams
Two voices struggled inside me. One that wanted to be good and brave, and one that told the good one to keep her mouth shut. ~ Stephenie Meyer
To Be Good quotes by Stephenie Meyer
To be good you've gotta have a lot of little boy in you. When you see Willie Mays and Ted Williams jumping and hopping around the bases after hitting a home run, and the kissing and hugging that goes on at home plate, you realize they have to be little boys. ~ Roy Campanella
To Be Good quotes by Roy Campanella
There is the devastatingly simple, yet profound, moral dilemma, which underlies the book: is it better for a man to choose to be bad than to be conditioned to be good? ~ Anthony Burgess
To Be Good quotes by Anthony Burgess
With all the trouble black people have, they try to forget on weekends. You've got to be good to make them laugh. ~ Flip Wilson
To Be Good quotes by Flip Wilson
Faith drives a wedge between ethics and suffering. Where certain actions cause no suffering at all, religious dogmatists still maintain that they are evil and worthy of punishment ... And yet, where suffering and death are found in abundance their causes are often deemed to be good ... This inversion of priorities not only victimizes innocent people and squanders scarce resources; it completely falsifies our ethics. ~ Sam Harris
To Be Good quotes by Sam Harris
It is better to be good than to be original, ~ Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe
To Be Good quotes by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try. ~ Dolly Parton
To Be Good quotes by Dolly Parton
It seems like when I first started, people got into comedy because they wanted to be good comedians. ~ Wanda Sykes
To Be Good quotes by Wanda Sykes
When you live in a community where people know you, it makes you want to be good and decent. It's a strong influence. ~ Tawni O'Dell
To Be Good quotes by Tawni O'Dell
All my brothers, my brothers-in-law, they're always telling me what a good-hearted guy I am. You don't get to be good-hearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you get to be a real professor of pain. ~ Paddy Chayefsky
To Be Good quotes by Paddy Chayefsky
Any simple claim that you need religion to be good is flat wrong. ~ Paul Bloom
To Be Good quotes by Paul Bloom
I feel like you know what you're going to be good at when you're older based on what you like when you're younger. When I was younger my best friend was Tony, this kid Tony, and he loved rocks. He was always playing with rocks, counting them, and now he's a crack head. ~ Amy Schumer
To Be Good quotes by Amy Schumer
Maybe, long ago, we used to be good. Maybe all little girls are good in the beginning. ~ Nova Ren Suma
