Human
nature is evil, and goodness is caused by intentional activity. ― Xun Zi 313 BC-238 BC)
Today we are afraid of simple words like goodness and mercy and
kindness. We don't believe in the good old words because we don't believe in
good old values anymore. And that's why the world is sick. ― Lin Yutang (1895-1976)
Just as a mother finds pleasure in taking her little child on her
lap, there to feed and caress him, in like manner our loving God shows His
fondness for His beloved souls who have given themselves entirely to Him and
have placed all their hope in His goodness. ― Saint Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to
the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future
depends on the nobility of our imaginings. ― Barbara Grizzuti Harrison (1934-2002)
Each person has inside a basic decency and goodness. If he listens
to it and acts on it, he is giving a great deal of what it is the world needs
most. It is not complicated but it takes courage. It takes courage for a person
to listen to his own goodness and act on it. ― Pablo Casals ( 1876-1973)
Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally; goodness is
always the product of some art. ― Charles
Baudelaire (1821-1867)
