Be not simply good - be good for something.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.

When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better.

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

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