Good

Quotes

<< Prev

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good
Better is the enemy of good
There are goods so opposed that we cannot seize both, but, by too much prudence, may pass between them at too great a distance to reach either
Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?
He that does good to another does good also to himself
The good die first,
And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust
Burn to the socket.

The Excursion
There shall never be one lost good! What was, shall live as before;
The evil is null, is nought, is silence implying sound;
What was good shall be good, with for evil so much good more;
On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven, a perfect round.

Abt Vogler
Oh yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of ill.
