Good
(page 24)
My goal is to be able to provide for myself and not have to worry about the daily expenses. I do want to be able to benefit from my work and make a good living, but I love it so much that I would do it for free.
A good teacher who can take the zero pay and help kids develop physically, emotionally, socially, is literally an angel.
We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
I love a man with a great sense of humor and who is intelligent — a man who has a great smile. He has to make me laugh. I like a man who is very ambitious and driven and who has a good heart and makes me feel safe. I like a man who is very strong and independent and confident — that is very sexy — but at the same time, he's very kind to people.
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

Good artists copy, great artists steal.
The future of any corporation is as good as the value system of the leaders and followers in the organization.
A good upbringing means not that you won't spill sauce on the tablecloth, but that you won't notice it when someone else does.
I embrace old age. Look, I'm never going to dunk on LeBron James, and I've learned to accept that. I got a pretty good life, and I'm very fortunate, and I have my blessings.
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
The biggest obstacle to people becoming better is that you have to really want to be a good person in order to be a better person, and most people would rather be other things.
Whatever your situation might be, set your mind to whatever you want to do and put a good attitude in it, and I believe that you can succeed. You are not going to get anywhere just sitting on your butt and moping around.
If you desire to be good, begin by believing that you are wicked.
The right of property holds good in all society; but in the West, ethics invade the personal life in a manner unknown to the East, so much so that the Oriental stands agape at our folly, knowing well that every man brings different instincts and ideas into the world with him.
