| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth.

| B. B. King | I'm no good with chords. I'm horrible with chords. | 101 |

| James E. Faust | In this life, we have to make many choices. Some are very important choices. Some are not. Many of our choices are between good and evil.

| Louis L'Amour | A good beginning makes a good end. | 101 |
| Luke Bryan | Growing up in Georgia, my dad was a farmer and we worked in agriculture, so we were always looking up at the sky, checking if rain was in the forecast.

| Nick Cannon | Nobody can predict the future. You just have to give your all to the relationship you're in and do your best to take care of your partner, communicate and give them every last drop of love you have. I think one of the most important things in a relationship is caring for your significant other through good times and bad. | 101 |
| Nick Saban | When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish.

| Nicole Ari Parker | We're all moving at such a high rate that we have to grab the frozen dinners and the McDonald's. We can't make it a way of life - we have to get back to real, simple, clean good foods. It will save our lives on so many levels; not just spina bifida, but obesity, diabetes, everything. Food is our medicine. | 101 |
| Nicole Scherzinger | 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 strong and independent and confident - that is very sexy - but at the same time, he's very kind to people. | 101 |

| Richard Stallman | Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy. | 101 |

| Rollo May | Life comes from physical survival; but the good life comes from what we care about. | 101 |

| Samuel L. Jackson | I'm a good son, a good father, a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen, I go, 'You know, that's part of history.' | 101 |
| Sandra Bullock | I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good. | 101 |
| Slash | You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's, you know, a great night.

| Barbara Corcoran | I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much. | 101 |

| Damian Marley | I can remember the first time I ever recorded my vocals on to a beat. Cat Coore from Third World - a legendary Jamaican band - had a little demo set up at his house. I'm very good friends with his eldest son, Shiah, who plays with me now. So we were rhyming over a track by the dancehall artist Peter Metro. I've still got it somewhere. | 101 |
| Eileen Caddy | Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way. | 101 |
| Eli Pariser | To be a good citizen, it's important to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible. | 101 |
| F. H. Bradley | It is good to know what a man is, and also what the world takes him for. But you do not understand him until you have learnt how he understands himself. | 101 |
| Frances E. Willard | Temperance is moderation in the things that are good and total abstinence from the things that are foul. | 101 |
| George Chapman | They're only truly great who are truly good. | 101 |
| Gillian Anderson | I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that. | 101 |
| Giorgio Moroder | It is at least 10 times more difficult to get a good synthesiser sound than on an acoustic instrument. | 101 |
| Grandma Moses | I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. | 101 |
| Hugh Sidey | A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. | 101 |
| Islom Karimov | When there is life and mankind, a person will live striving for good deeds, liberty and a bright life, and wish that goodness and justice will reign in the world. | 101 |
| James Dobson | My legacy doesn't matter. It isn't important that I be remembered. It's important that when I stand before the Lord, he says, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' I want to finish strong. | 101 |
| Jean Chatzky | While you're going through this process of trying to find the satisfaction in your work, pretend you feel satisfied. Tell yourself you had a good day. Walk through the corridors with a smile rather than a scowl. Your positive energy will radiate. If you act like you're having fun, you'll find you are having fun. | 101 |
| Jeffrey Kluger | It's one of the worst-kept secrets of family life that all parents have a preferred son or daughter, and the rules for acknowledging it are the same everywhere: The favored kids recognize their status and keep quiet about it - the better to preserve the good thing they've got going and to keep their siblings off their back. | 101 |
| Joe Torre | Unless you have bad times, you can't appreciate the good times. | 101 |
| John Boehner | Well, any good comeback needs some true believers. | 101 |
| Johnny Weir | Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline. I love my freedom of speech and the way my eyes get dark when I'm tired. I love that I have learned to trust people with my heart, even if it will get broken. I am proud of everything that I am and will become. | 101 |
| Josh McDowell | No matter how devastating our struggles, disappointments, and troubles are, they are only temporary. No matter what happens to you, no matter the depth of tragedy or pain you face, no matter how death stalks you and your loved ones, the Resurrection promises you a future of immeasurable good. | 101 |
| Julia Cameron | When we clear the physical clutter from our lives, we literally make way for inspiration and 'good, orderly direction' to enter. | 101 |
| Kevin Eubanks | Inspiration is one thing and you can't control it, but hard work is what keeps the ship moving. Good luck means, work hard. Keep up the good work. | 101 |
| Kim Il-sung | It is necessary to expose the false propaganda of the imperialists and thoroughly dispel the illusion that the imperialists will give up their positions in the colonies and dependent countries with good will. | 101 |
| Kirsty Gallacher | My idea of a good night has always been having a lovely meal and a proper conversation. | 101 |
| Konrad Lorenz | It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young. | 101 |
| Lady Gregory | Every day in the year there comes some malice into the world, and where it comes from is no good place. | 101 |
| Lee Haney | It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it. | 101 |
| Lennie James | If you look in real life, it is very hard to describe people as good people, bad people, heroes or villains. People aren't bad people. They all have their justifications. | 101 |
| Lincoln Chafee | In the executive branch, winning by a whisker is as good as winning in a landslide, but not so in the Senate. | 101 |
| Lou Diamond Phillips | Sometimes I only hope to make a good popcorn movie. | 101 |
| Lucas Neff | There's sort of a very symbiotic thing that happens on good TV shows with great writers, which is that they start to sort of embrace who the actors are and try to make the roles more specific to what they bring and what they can do. | 101 |
| Maeve Binchy | The great thing about getting older is that you become more mellow. Things aren't as black and white, and you become much more tolerant. You can see the good in things much more easily rather than getting enraged as you used to do when you were young. | 101 |
| Margaret Heffernan | For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate. | 101 |
| Maria Sharapova | It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content. | 101 |
| Matt Mullenweg | I don't care how someone lives or how good their spoken English is. I do all of my interviews on Skype text chat - all that matters is their work. | 101 |
| Meg White | It's hard to get that real good feeling about festivals sometimes. | 101 |
| Menander | Bad company corrupts good character. | 101 |
| Nev Schulman | Online, you're providing each other with the good aspects of being together as far as communication and support, but you don't have to deal with the realities of paying bills together, or being annoyed when they leave the toilet seat up or don't put the food away in the fridge. | 101 |
| Nick Lachey | To me, having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father. | 101 |
| Niels Arden Oplev | Because revenge is a very known feeling in American culture, there's a certain element of an eye for an eye. There's the saying, 'Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.' When you wish for revenge, and you think you've gotten it, what happens then? Revenge is just a really good drive for drama and good action. | 101 |
| Paul Coffey | Nobody's a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It's hard to stay on top. | 101 |
| Peter McWilliams | The news media are, for the most part, the bringers of bad news... and it's not entirely the media's fault, bad news gets higher ratings and sells more papers than good news. | 101 |
| Philip Pullman | What I do say is that I can write verse, and that the writing of verse in strict form is the best possible training for writing good prose. | 101 |
| Pratibha Patil | Corruption is the enemy of development, and of good governance. It must be got rid of. Both the government and the people at large must come together to achieve this national objective. | 101 |
| Rashida Jones | Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that's beautiful. | 101 |
| Robert Capa | If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough. | 101 |
| Rodney Atkins | You choose to be happy, and in life we have as many good days as bad days. I try to find and record those songs that pull you through the bad days, and keep you believing that the good days are just around the corner. | 101 |
| Scott Alexander | All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy. Stay away from easy. | 101 |
| Scott Caan | And at the end of the day, if the movie's no good, I'll live to fight another day. | 101 |
| Sean Bean | If you have a very good concept of your character, you can snap into it. | 101 |
| Sheena Easton | We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again. | 101 |
| Sherry Turkle | It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the 'good old days' when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy. | 101 |
| Srikumar Rao | I believe that if you don't derive a deep sense of purpose from what you do, if you don't come radiantly alive several times a day, if you don't feel deeply grateful at the tremendous good fortune that has been bestowed on you, then you are wasting your life. And life is too short to waste. | 101 |
| Steve Albini | If I'm working as an engineer for another band, the responsibility for brilliance pretty much rests on their shoulders. I think I'm pretty good, but I'm not good enough to turn a trout into a sausage, or the other way around. | 101 |
| Sue Wicks | I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent. | 101 |
| Tom Araya | To fans in a festival setting it's like a picnic. You want to have a good time with your friends in that crowd. And in the background you hear the band play, 'Oh, that's my favorite song!' everyone is there to enjoy the afternoon and that's about it. | 101 |
| Tom Watson | I'm very happy with my life. I am what I am. I don't worry about anything that I can't control. That's a really good lesson in life. | 101 |
| William H. McRaven | You can't change the world alone - you will need some help - and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them. | 101 |
| William R. Alger | After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer. | 101 |
| Wolf Blitzer | If you are a reliable, honest journalist, sources will open up and trust you and share good information. | 101 |
| Adam Hamilton | While some misuse their freedom to perpetrate evil, millions respond by feeling compelled to use their freedom to do good. | 101 |
| Adora Svitak | Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture. | 101 |
| Ashley Wagner | I'm not a pretty princess, and I'm aware of that, so I like music that is really intense, really bold, and characters that in a way almost have a dark side and are kind of evil because, for me, that's when I feel my strongest and fiercest, when I'm not necessarily the good girl. | 101 |
| Bertie Carvel | People's character is their behaviour - we're all capable of good and evil. | 101 |
| Bob Mould | There's so many companies that are spending so much money on 17-year-olds... I can't compete with that. I'm not that guy anymore, they can't dress me up and roll me out there and make me look good. I am what I am! | 101 |
| Boman Irani | I don't mind being identified as any character as long as I'm doing a good job as an actor. I have done all kinds of roles - from an editor, judge, police officer, murderer to a corrupt businessman. | 101 |
| Brad D. Smith | Good intentions often get muddled with very complex execution. The last time the government tried to make taxes easier, it created a 1040 EZ form with a 52-page help booklet. | 101 |
| Christian Kane | My mom's always been a good cook, so I took a lot of stuff from her, but most of the stuff I took from Emeril or Bobby Flay right off the TV and make it. I just loved to cook, so it just became a thing. It's a release. Even if I'm alone, I'll cook a full meal, maybe even a two-course meal, just because I love to cook. It's my secret love! | 101 |
| Claude M. Bristol | You must intensify and render continuous by repeatedly presenting with suggestive ideas and mental pictures of the feast of good things, and the flowing fountain, which awaits the successful achievement or attainment of the desires. | 101 |
| Damon Lindelof | I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies. | 101 |
| Dan Ariely | Dishonesty is all about the small acts we can take and then think, 'No, this not real cheating.' So if you think that the main mechanism is rationalization, then what you come up with, and that's what we find, is that we're basically trying to balance feeling good about ourselves. | 101 |
| Dan Auerbach | My mom bought me a white Strat, but that wasn't what I wanted, so I went to a guitar store in Cleveland and - the guy told me it was a really good deal - made an even swap for a blue Teisco Del Ray. I loved that guitar and used it a bunch. | 101 |
| David Rubenstein | My father worked in a post office and never made probably more than $8,000 a year as an employee of the post office, so when people can rise up from very modest circumstances and do well economically, I think that's a good thing about America, and we should encourage that kind of activity. | 101 |
| Don Kardong | A good teammate is someone willing to get outside of personal thoughts and emotions, a friend who tries to understand, appreciate, and encourage other members of the team. | 101 |
| Eliphas Levi | A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard. | 101 |
| Elle Macpherson | It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. | 101 |
| Ernest Renan | To conceive the good, in fact, is not sufficient; it must be made to succeed among men. To accomplish this less pure paths must be followed. | 101 |
| George Ade | A good jolly is worth what you pay for it. | 101 |
| George Savile | Anger is never without an argument, but seldom with a good one. | 101 |
| Gerard Depardieu | Cooking is not difficult. Everyone has taste, even if they don't realize it. Even if you're not a great chef, there's nothing to stop you understanding the difference between what tastes good and what doesn't. | 101 |
| Gina Barreca | If you believe that your best years are behind you, you've guaranteed they are; I'm going to dance into that good night, with the oldies turned up loud. | 101 |
| Harry Dean Stanton | I just want to say, good night, sweet prince, may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. | 101 |
| Jack Vance | The story was such that I couldn't make a graceful ending and then make a graceful new beginning. I could have, but I didn't want to. So, it isn't the most graceful way of writing a story. This new story is, I think, is pretty good stuff. I'm pleased with it anyway. | 101 |
| John Cusack | Hopefully as you get older you get more selfless. That would be probably a good goal. I don't know if we do, though. | 101 |
| John Piper | Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope. | 101 |
| Judi Dench | It is not good to cross the bridge before you get to it. | 101 |
| Kate del Castillo | First, I eat healthy; it comes from the inside out. If you eat right, your skin, hair, nails will look good. The same if you have negative thoughts - they can give you a bad look, too; we reflect what we eat and think. We also taste and smell what we eat. Being happy and doing what I love really reflects. | 101 |
| Kato Kaelin | Sometimes people just want you to fail. Except your really good friends. I've always known who my best friends were. | 101 |
| Kip Moore | I think I've lived a pretty hard life. What I mean by hard is that... I've been kind of reckless with things. I'm a passionate person. I'm a super passionate person. I think there's definitely been sorrow in my life, good and bad. I think it comes through. I hope it comes through in my writing because to me that's what artistry is. | 101 |
| Knute Nelson | In the midst of these hard times it is our good health and good sleep that are enjoyable. | 101 |
| Meghan Trainor | I like Ariana Grande's nice thigh-gap; she's got good legs. | 101 |
| Noah Taylor | I think spirituality is a good thing but I dislike any sort of dogmatic organization. | 101 |
| Peter Shilton | As a goalkeeper you need to be good at organising the people in front of you and motivating them. You need to see what's going on and react to the threats. Just like a good manager in business. | 101 |
| Petter Stordalen | What is good for society is also good for business. | 101 |
| Ralph Merkle | If you look at the human condition today, not everyone is well fed, has access to good medical care, or the physical basics that provide for a healthy and a happy life. | 101 |
| Ricky Jay | To obfuscate the reconstruction of the effect - when a magician is fooled by another magician doing magic. In my career that's not been the major passion, but it's been the passion of a number of my mentors. The crowning achievement for them would be to create magic good enough to fool other magicians. | 101 |
| Robert Henri | Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away. | 101 |
| Ronan Farrow | Hillary Clinton respects good ideas wherever they come from. That's something I haven't seen in a lot of powerful people. | 101 |
| Sade Adu | I always said that if I could just find a guy who could chop wood and had a nice smile, it wouldn't bother me if he was a thug or an aristocrat, as long as he was a good guy. And I've ended up with an educated thug. | 101 |
| Sanford I. Weill | My mother really didn't know a heck of a lot about business. She was a very good mother, that made sure we ate right and we had our cod liver oil, but didn't know a heck of a lot about what I did. | 101 |
| Stone Gossard | Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time. | 101 |
| Shari Arison | It's important to think good, speak good, and do good. If we want to see positive change in the world, then we need to connect to goodness. I try in everything I do, both in business and philanthropy, to make a positive change and do that by doing good. | 101 |
| Stephen Vincent Benet | You call my candidate a horse thief, and I call yours a lunatic, and we both of us know it's just till election day. It's an American custom, like eating corn on the cob. And, afterwards, we settle down quite peaceably and agree we've got a pretty good country - until next election. | 101 |
| Thomas Tusser | At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year. | 101 |
| Walt Kelly | It is not good enough for things to be planned - they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation. | 101 |
| William E. Simon | Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote. | 101 |
| Aly Raisman | You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment! | 101 |
| Anita Loos | I really think that American gentlemen are the best after all, because kissing your hand may make you feel very good but a diamond and a sapphire bracelet lasts forever. | 101 |
| Anthony Rizzo | I will respect the limits of my experience but that won't stop me from trying to lead by example of my work. Being a good teammate and picking them up on and off the field is a simple goal of mine. | 101 |
| Cindy Gallop | I have a low tolerance for people who complain about things but never do anything to change them. This led me to conclude that the single largest pool of untapped natural resources in this world is human good intentions that are never translated into actions. | 101 |
| Colbie Caillat | Bob Marley is a huge influence. I love reggae music, but I also love the purpose of the songs he writes and the style of the music - it takes your worries away and makes you feel good, and I think that's what music is about. | 101 |
| Debbi Fields | I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience. | 101 |
| Edwin Markham | The crest and crowning of all good, Life's final star, is brotherhood. | 101 |
| Gilbert Highet | A good teacher is a determined person. | 101 |
| Hyman Rickover | Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience. | 101 |
| Jairam Ramesh | There never is a good time for tough decisions. There will always be an election or something else. You have to pick courage and do it. Governance is about taking tough, even unpopular, decisions. | 101 |
| Joe Jonas | 'Fast Life' is just about going out with your friends and having a good time - I think it's one of those songs that people can relate with and like. | 101 |
| Jordin Sparks | If I don't laugh at least 20 times a day - it hasn't been a good day. | 101 |
| Liana Liberato | Surround yourself with good people who encourage and love you. There are always ups and downs, no matter how successful you are. | 101 |
| Marc Newson | To create well I have to be in a good mood, happy and cool. | 101 |
| Michael Chang | I feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament. | 101 |
| Steffi Graf | I've thrown away lots of my old diaries - you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days. | 101 |
| Tara Reid | I'm not perfect, I do drink. I do smoke. Carson Daly can't go out and get messed up, he can't smoke in front of kids - he's the face of MTV, and he has to be good. But me? I can. | 101 |
| Ted Nelson | The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do. | 101 |
| Alexander Skarsgard | Life isn't one-dimensional. The world isn't simply divided into good versus evil. I think we're all capable of both. | 101 |
| Algernon Sidney | Liars need to have good memories. | 101 |
| Bernard Meltzer | A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked. | 101 |
| Brenda Song | To this day, just always treat people the way you want to be treated. Whether it's family or friends or co-workers, I think it's the most important thing. Whether you have success or don't have it, whether you're a good person is all that matters. | 101 |
| Brooks Atkinson | In every age 'the good old days' were a myth. No one ever thought they were good at the time. For every age has consisted of crises that seemed intolerable to the people who lived through them. | 101 |
| Caroline Winberg | I think it's important to always keep professional and surround yourself with good people, work hard, and be nice to everyone. | 101 |
| Caterina Murino | I have a dream of re-creating the fantastic family I grew up in with my brother and my parents. I am lucky that I have such a good image of family life - my father and mother are still in love, still happy. | 101 |
| Charlie Bell | There are good days and there are bad days, and I've had my share of both. | 101 |
| Cindy Morgan | I love spending time with my friends and family. The simplest things in life give me the most pleasure: cooking a good meal, enjoying my friends. | 101 |
| Edward Blake | As far as I can judge, not much good can be done without disturbing something or somebody. | 101 |
| Emily Post | Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use. | 101 |
| Godfrey Winn | No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed. | 101 |
| James Bovard | People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests. | 101 |
| James F. Cooper | Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding. It is a quality that belongs equally to the honest man and to the gentleman. | 101 |
| Phil Crane | I never let politics get personal. You can have the most intense, heated debate on issues, and so long as you keep it on issues, you can go out and have coffee afterwards and you're good friends. | 101 |
| Ram Kapoor | When you do good work, people will notice you. | 101 |
| Ted Hughes | Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self. | 101 |
| Tom Cavanagh | For me, if its television, if it's theater, if it's film, and it's good, I don't make much of distinction between the 3. I think there's only so many great stories out there. If you get the chance to be a part of one, it doesn't matter what it is. | 101 |
| Bob Lemon | The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen. | 101 |
| David Levithan | My main piece of advice would be don't worry about being published - just write a really good book, but also don't be afraid to write a bad book. Give yourself permission to fail, and don't be afraid. | 101 |
| Jude Law | There's no regret. You can't regret. I mean, I've felt regret but I've also refused to allow regret to sow a seed and live in me because I don't believe it. You feel it, it's like guilt, it's like jealousy, it's like all those horrible things. You've just got to snip them and get them out, because they're no good. | 101 |
| Rolf Harris | I will never shave off my beard and moustache. I did once, for charity, but my wife said, 'Good grief, how awful, you look like an American car with all the chrome removed.' | 101 |
| Sean Kingston | I make sure I always surround myself with good, down to earth, fun, real people, who always keep me grounded. | 101 |
| Terri Apter | When a mother quarrels with a daughter, she has a double dose of unhappiness hers from the conflict, and empathy with her daughter's from the conflict with her. Throughout her life a mother retains this special need to maintain a good relationship with her daughter. | 101 |
| Adam Hicks | If someone is sad, they put on a song, or if someone wants to rock out, and they want to get into a good mood, they put on music. Just being able to be a part of something like that I feel like was my ultimate push to do music. | 101 |
| Barbara Eden | I didn't know I was compared to Elizabeth Montgomery, but I think that I'm in very good company with her. | 101 |
| Charles Erwin Wilson | A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could. | 101 |
| Christopher Isherwood | Life is not so bad if you have plenty of luck, a good physique, and not too much imagination. | 101 |
| Jacob Zuma | When I joined the ANC, I never thought I would be anything. In no way, did I say, 'One day I could be the president. I think I am good material for the presidency.' Not at all. | 101 |
| John Bytheway | Expressions of affection, like putting your arm around someone's shoulder, holding hands, or giving a kiss good night, involve the principle of honesty. | 101 |
| John Florio | A good husband makes a good wife. | 101 |
| Jerome Hines | The only proper way to eliminate bad habits is to replace them with good ones. | 101 |
| Margaret Walker | Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go. | 101 |
| Mark Warner | My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed. | 101 |
| Marty Robbins | Every day is a good day to be alive, whether the sun's shining or not. | 101 |
| Matt Ryan | You can't please everyone, and you have to trust your instincts, and you have to do your work and throw yourself in there and trust your instincts, and just trust that you're doing a good job that I can be proud of as well. | 101 |
| Miguel Indurain | I inherited that calm from my father, who was a farmer. You sow, you wait for good or bad weather, you harvest, but working is something you always need to do. | 101 |
| Richard Lederer | English language is the most universal language in history, way more than the Latin of Julius Caesar. It's the most punderful language because its vocabulary has a certain critical mass that makes a lingo good for punning. | 101 |
| Robert Agostinelli | The social disease of political correctness has entered daily life, inverting good to bad and attempting to rewrite proud histories as an imposition of white supremacy for which we all should make contrition. | 101 |
| Suzanne Weyn | Perfect happiness would be knowing that all my family and friends were happy and safe. Then I'd go to a tropical island with my husband where it was gorgeous and fun all day long and interesting and fun all evening. Good food and dancing would be nice, too, and weekly visits from those safe and happy family and friends. Plus world peace. | 101 |
| Adrienne Barbeau | When I see myself on film it makes me smile, I mean making a good living doing what I enjoy is soo much fun. I just hope that everyone has the chance to enjoy life like I do. | 101 |
| Johnathon Schaech | In my life, I'm just looking for that life of integrity that my father had. I have a good heart; I'm not a heartbreaker. | 101 |
| Justin Guarini | Either positive or negative comments are good because it shows I am still relevant. | 101 |
| Mary Frances Berry | When you have police officers who abuse citizens, you erode public confidence in law enforcement. That makes the job of good police officers unsafe. | 101 |
| Robert Bosch | I don't pay good wages because I have a lot of money; I have a lot of money because I pay good wages. | 101 |
| Maurice de Vlaminck | Good painting is like good cooking; it can be tasted, but not explained. | 101 |
| Arthur Freed | Don't try to be different. Just be good. To be good is different enough. | 101 |
| Jacqueline MacInnes Wood | Don't be afraid to be awesome. Sometimes being weird and different is good. When you think you're working hard, there is always someone else working harder, so always be yourself and know your stuff. | 101 |
| Jeremy Luke | The definition of success to me is not necessarily a price tag, not fame, but having a good life, and being able to say I did the right thing at the end of the day. | 101 |
| John B. Larson | Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences - some good, some bad and some unintended. It is the new reality. | 101 |
| John Foster Dulles | The United Nations was not set up to be a reformatory. It was assumed that you would be good before you got in and not that being in would make you good. | 101 |
| James Lind | The consequence was, that the most sudden and visible good effects were perceived from the use of oranges and lemons; one of those who had taken them, being at the end of 6 days fit for duty. | 101 |
| Joseph Howe | My public life is before you; and I know you will believe me when I say, that when I sit down in solitude to the labours of my profession, the only questions I ask myself are, What is right? What is just? What is for the public good? | 101 |
| John Lee Hancock | A good deed is a good deed. | 101 |
| Abraham Lincoln | No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar. | 102 |
| Marilyn Monroe | I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love. | 102 |
| Socrates | By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. | 102 |
| Edmund Burke | All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. | 102 |
| George S. Patton | A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week. | 102 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master. | 102 |
| Margaret Thatcher | I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph. | 102 |
| Martin Luther | There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. | 102 |
| Norman Schwarzkopf | A great deal of the capability of an army is its dedication to its cause and its will to fight. You can have the best equipment in the world, you can have the largest numbers in the world, but, if you're not dedicated to your cause, if you don't have the will to fight, then, you are not going to have a very good army. | 102 |
| Prince | Music is music, ultimately. If it makes you feel good, cool. | 102 |
| Salvador Dali | Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad. | 102 |
| Toni Morrison | She is a friend of mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind. | 102 |
| Walt Whitman | I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best. | 102 |
| Isaac Bashevis Singer | If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet. | 102 |
| Brene Brown | I spent a lot of years trying to outrun or outsmart vulnerability by making things certain and definite, black and white, good and bad. My inability to lean into the discomfort of vulnerability limited the fullness of those important experiences that are wrought with uncertainty: Love, belonging, trust, joy, and creativity to name a few. | 102 |
| Chanakya | The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions. | 102 |
| Dennis Prager | There is no limit to suffering human beings have been willing to inflict on others, no matter how innocent, no matter how young, and no matter how old. This fact must lead all reasonable human beings, that is, all human beings who take evidence seriously, to draw only one possible conclusion: Human nature is not basically good. | 102 |
| Homer | Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe. | 102 |
| Jerry Seinfeld | We want to do a lot of stuff; we're not in great shape. We didn't get a good night's sleep. We're a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup. | 102 |
| Lionel Messi | I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy. | 102 |
| Mae West | When I'm good, I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better. | 102 |

| Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn | The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man. | 102 |
| Amy Grant | Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it's not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long. | 102 |
| Amy Poehler | So, if you're doing good longform with talented people than you can step out and you can be the president or a construction worker and people accept that. It's really the roles you give yourself. | 102 |
| Anne Hathaway | I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don't find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more. | 102 |
| Arnold H. Glasow | A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit. | 102 |
| Barry Goldwater | If you don't mind smelling like peanut butter for two or three days, peanut butter is darn good shaving cream. | 102 |
| Behati Prinsloo | I think every girl has a little bit of rebellion inside. It's always fun to not follow every trend and not be the perfect good girl. It's edgy to be a little rebellious. | 102 |
| Benicio Del Toro | The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy. | 102 |
| Bethany Hamilton | Strive to find things to be thankful for, and just look for the good in who you are! | 102 |
| Blake Lively | People gossip. People are insecure, so they talk about other people so that they won't be talked about. They point out flaws in other people to make them feel good about themselves. I think at any age or any social class, that's present. | 102 |
| Bo Bennett | For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth. | 102 |
| Carl Rogers | The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination. | 102 |
| Carlos Castaneda | Look at every path closely and deliberately, then ask ourselves this crucial question: Does this path have a heart? If it does, then the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use. | 102 |
| Caroline Kennedy | It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul. | 102 |
| Charles Barkley | The only difference between a good shot and a bad shot is if it goes in or not. | 102 |
| Charles Kuralt | Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students. | 102 |
| Christian Louboutin | I would say that a good shoe is exactly like a good wine. These shoes are going to stay and last for a long time. | 102 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | No good deed goes unpunished. | 102 |
| Christopher Walken | Early on, I played one or two disturbed people, and I guess I must have been good at it, because it stuck. But, you know, I'm a regular guy. I stay home a lot, I make an effort to keep a distance from the whole social thing, the openings, the parties. I try to live in a calm way. | 102 |
| Clarence Thomas | Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot. | 102 |
| Clayton Christensen | Many of the factors that we think will cause motivation, such as fair pay and a good manager, won't make you love your job. Even if you eliminate what makes you dissatisfied, that doesn't make you motivated. It doesn't make your work rewarding. You just are less bothered by things. | 102 |
| Cory Booker | Patriotism is love of country. But you can't love your country without loving your countrymen and countrywomen. We don't always have to agree, but we must empower each other, we must find the common ground, we must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good. | 102 |
| Dwight L. Moody | God never made a promise that was too good to be true. | 102 |
| Ellen G. White | I had often sought for the peace there is in Christ, but I could not seem to find the freedom I desired. A terrible sadness rested on my heart. I could not think of anything I had done to cause me to feel sad; but it seemed to me that I was not good enough to enter Heaven, that such a thing would be altogether too much for me to expect. | 102 |
| Emeril Lagasse | You gotta have good olive oil. You should have a cooking olive oil and you should have a finishing olive oil, like an extra-virgin olive oil. | 102 |
| Fred Astaire | The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any. | 102 |
| Gabe Newell | Most people who end up being successful have good grades, but it's orthogonal - there's no extra information than if they put together a website and have bunch of fans who love coming and seeing what they're doing. | 102 |
| Gail Sheehy | Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect, you have enough. | 102 |
| George Herbert | Good words are worth much, and cost little. | 102 |
| George McGovern | I thought the Vietnam war was an utter, unmitigated disaster, so it was very hard for me to say anything good about it. | 102 |
| Gerard Butler | I love a girl with a good sense of humour, who is confident but who has a sweetness to her - that melts my heart. | 102 |
| Gretchen Rubin | Turn off your email; turn off your phone; disconnect from the Internet; figure out a way to set limits so you can concentrate when you need to, and disengage when you need to. Technology is a good servant but a bad master. | 102 |
| Gwen Ifill | Journalists are accused of being lapdogs when they don't ask the hard questions, but then accused of being rude when they do. Good thing we have tough hides. | 102 |
| Izaak Walton | Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. | 102 |
| Jack Ma | Today the financial market is no good, but the money is there. | 102 |
| James Franco | If the work is good, what does it matter? I'm doing it because I love it. Why not do as many things I love as I can? As long as the work is good. | 102 |
| Jim Carrey | I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.' | 102 |
| Jo Brand | Anything is good if it's made of chocolate. | 102 |
| Joan Rivers | Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise. | 102 |
| John Henrik Clarke | A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson. | 102 |
| Jose Rizal | One only dies once, and if one does not die well, a good opportunity is lost and will not present itself again. | 102 |
| Kim Cattrall | I have a very healthy dose of self-loathing. But I think we all have a past of being whatever our story was, of feeling not good enough. It can propel you to work harder and do more, but it can also be a tremendous trap, and you can't see beyond it. | 102 |
| Larry Bird | I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it. | 102 |
| Larry Flynt | Religion has caused more harm than any other idea since the beginning of time. There's nothing good I can say about it. People use it as a crutch. | 102 |
| Lauren Conrad | I think a good friend, to me, is all about trust and loyalty. You don't ever want to second-guess whether you can tell your friend something. | 102 |
| Laurence Sterne | 'Tis known by the name of perseverance in a good cause, and of obstinacy in a bad one. | 102 |
| Loretta Young | Wearing the correct dress for any occasion is a matter of good manners. | 102 |
| Louis Armstrong | There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind. | 102 |
| Louisa May Alcott | You have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty. | 102 |
| Myles Munroe | It is my conviction that marriage is such a good idea, only God could have thought of it. | 102 |
| Paul Rand | Graphic design, which evokes the symmetria of Vituvius, the dynamic symmetry of Hambidge, the asymmetry of Mondrian; which is a good gestalt, generated by intuition or by computer, by invention or by a system of coordinates, is not good design if it does not communicate. | 102 |
| Pedro Calderon de la Barca | What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams. | 102 |
| Philip Zimbardo | The line between good and evil is permeable and almost anyone can be induced to cross it when pressured by situational forces. | 102 |
| Prince Charles | There's nothing like a jolly good disaster to get people to start doing something. | 102 |
| R. Lee Ermey | I'm never, like I say, I'm never happy, I'm never satisfied, it's never good enough. | 102 |
| Robert Griffin III | I think if you're a good high school player that you have the ability to be a good college football player. If you're a good college football then you have the ability to be a great NFL player. | 102 |
| Ronda Rousey | Look at my face. Does it look like I can take a good hit? | 102 |
| Ross Perot | Action is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read. | 102 |
| Samantha Power | History is laden with belligerent leaders using humanitarian rhetoric to mask geopolitical aims. History also shows how often ill-informed moralism has led to foreign entanglements that do more harm than good. | 102 |
| Samuel Goldwyn | When someone does something good, applaud! You will make two people happy. | 102 |
| Sandra Day O'Connor | I don't know that there are any short cuts to doing a good job. | 102 |
| Thom Yorke | I think we're entering a very dangerous time. The West has set itself up, decided it's in charge, not for good intentions, not for the benefit of mankind. | 102 |
| Ursula K. Le Guin | It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end. | 102 |
| Wendell Phillips | To be as good as our fathers we must be better, imitation is not discipleship. | 102 |
| William J. Clinton | It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us. | 102 |
| William McKinley | We need Hawaii just as much and a good deal more than we did California. It is Manifest Destiny. | 102 |
| Zac Efron | If I splurge on anything, it's cologne. I love smelling good. | 102 |
| Avril Lavigne | To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood. | 102 |
| Buddy Valastro | The key to a good meal is simplicity and the right seasoning. | 102 |
| Dean Koontz | Some days I'm lucky to squeeze out a page of copy that pleases me, but I get as many as six or seven pages on a very good day; the average is probably three pages. | 102 |
| Dennis Quaid | There are three things being a celebrity is good for: raising money for charity, dinner reservations and tee times. | 102 |
| Diane Lane | I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh. | 102 |
| Doug Larson | Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days. | 102 |
| Edgar Bronfman, Sr. | During my many years in international business and public life, I have had the good fortune of sitting down for lunch with people with whom I completely disagreed, in practice and principle: Soviet communists, heads of state from various unsavory regimes, benighted religious figures, corrupt business leaders. | 102 |
| James Surowiecki | Linux is a complex example of the wisdom of crowds. It's a good example in the sense that it shows you can set people to work in a decentralized way - that is, without anyone really directing their efforts in a particular direction - and still trust that they're going to come up with good answers. | 102 |
| Jesse Owens | Find the good. It's all around you. Find it, showcase it and you'll start believing in it. | 102 |
| Johnny Knoxville | 'I know this is going to end bad, but I'm going to pretend it's going to end good.' My life's philosophy. | 102 |
| Linda Thompson | Just try to do the right thing, and that's immediate karma: 'I feel good about myself.' | 102 |
| Maria Sharapova | I still love things that you don't even need to pay for. Going to the beach and being around five of your friends and having a good time means so much more than going out and spending hundreds of dollars. | 102 |
| Rita Mae Brown | Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. | 102 |
| Roy Bean | You have been tried by twelve good men and true, not of your peers but as high above you as heaven is of hell, and they have said you are guilty. | 102 |
| Sally Field | I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their heart broken. I don't think it says anything good about me at all. | 102 |
| Sebastian Vettel | There are some things that you can fulfil with money, but at the end of the day these are not the things that make you happy. It is the small things that make life good. | 102 |
| Tracy McMillan | Women with low self-esteem love bad boys. Women who have work to do love bad boys. Women who love themselves love good men. | 102 |
| Angie Stone | I swear by that old expression, 'One monkey don't stop no show!' The reality is, we still have some good men out there, and we should hail those men as the kings they are. | 102 |
| John Oates | A good mustache makes a man for many reasons. | 102 |
| John Piper | Do all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good. | 102 |

| Meghan Trainor | I cry for a lot of good things that happen. I cry a lot, okay? | 102 |
| Norman Thomas | The secret of a good life is to have the right loyalties and hold them in the right scale of values. | 102 |
| Richard Carmona | As a father, physician and nurse, I have a special place in my heart for children, and I know the brief window of opportunity we have to teach them simple lessons that can lead to a lifetime of good health. | 102 |
| Rosamund Pike | I do know that the key to anything good is feeling relaxed and free. That's the main thing that you can offer yourself as an actor. | 102 |
| Sarah Michelle Gellar | I like food. I like eating. And I don't want to deprive myself of good food. | 102 |
| Angela Bassett | I would have to say honestly I was very pleased to be in a film whether it was good or bad with De Niro, Norton and Brando even if I don't have any scenes with them, I thought it was pretty good company to keep. | 102 |
| Anthony Rizzo | One game, one pitch can change everything for a hitter. The way I like to approach it is that every at-bat is its own unique opportunity to go out there and do something really good. | 102 |
| Charlie Kimball | Whenever I am not traveling during the winter, I am pushing hard in the gym. Even when I am traveling, I try to fit a workout in at the hotel. And if the hotel doesn't have a gym? You can get a good workout in your room with an exercise band and some imagination. | 102 |
| Debbi Fields | Good enough never is. | 102 |
| Eden Phillpotts | The people sensible enough to give good advice are usually sensible enough to give none. | 102 |
| Jack Dempsey | I was a pretty good fighter. But it was the writers who made me great. | 102 |
| James Beard | Too few people understand a really good sandwich. | 102 |
| John Mason Brown | No one is worthy of a good home here or in heaven that is not willing to be in peril for a good cause. | 102 |
| John Paul DeJoria | I'm not a detail guy. I depend on accountants and administrators to do my detail stuff for me, but I do know the overall picture and I know that if you put business people together in a room, not just politicians, they could shrink the deficit tremendously by good business tactics. | 102 |
| James D'arcy | The good guy only gets the girl in a soppy way. | 102 |
| Roger Babson | Let him who would enjoy a good future waste none of his present. | 102 |
| C. Day Lewis | No good poem, however confessional it may be, is just a self-expression. Who on earth would claim that the pearl expresses the oyster? | 102 |
| James H. Douglas, Jr. | A good job is more than just a paycheck. A good job fosters independence and discipline, and contributes to the health of the community. A good job is a means to provide for the health and welfare of your family, to own a home, and save for retirement. | 102 |
| Mother Teresa | We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do. | 103 |
| Thomas Jefferson | Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits. | 103 |
| Conor McGregor | It's good to make your brain work more than your body. | 103 |
| Edward Snowden | I can't in good conscience allow the U.S. government to destroy privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they're secretly building. | 103 |
| John C. Maxwell | There are two kinds of pride, both good and bad. 'Good pride' represents our dignity and self-respect. 'Bad pride' is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance. | 103 |
| John Wooden | Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day. | 103 |
| Kurt Vonnegut | There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization. If there are such things as angels, I hope that they are organized along the lines of the Mafia. | 103 |
| Pierre Teilhard de Chardin | In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened. | 103 |
| Rene Descartes | It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well. | 103 |
| Thomas Paine | The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion. | 103 |
| Ice Cube | I'm trying to cut down a little on eating, on sodium, keep my blood pressure down, which is tough. Because I love food! I do, but it's unfair how everything that's bad for you tastes so good, and all the good stuff, veggies and green things, doesn't match up. | 103 |
| Kofi Annan | Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. | 103 |
| Hannah Arendt | Dedicate yourself to the good you deserve and desire for yourself. Give yourself peace of mind. You deserve to be happy. You deserve delight. | 103 |
| Johnny Cash | The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I've got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer. | 103 |
| Queen Elizabeth II | First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys. | 103 |
| Swami Sivananda | A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching. | 103 |
| Zig Ziglar | Research indicates that employees have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company. | 103 |
| Aaliyah | I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person. | 103 |
| Alexander McQueen | I've had good times; I've had bad times. | 103 |
| Amy Grant | Get outside. Watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. How does that make you feel? Does it make you feel big or tiny? Because there's something good about feeling both. | 103 |
| Arthur C. Clarke | New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can't be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it's not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along! | 103 |
| Ashley Montagu | One goes through school, college, medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success. | 103 |
| Baltasar Gracian | Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way. | 103 |
| Bhumibol Adulyadej | Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil. | 103 |
| Bobby Knight | People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad. | 103 |
| Brigham Young | A good man, is a good man, whether in this church, or out of it. | 103 |
| Charles Barkley | I know I'm never as good or bad as one single performance. I've never believed in my critics or my worshippers, and I've always been able to leave the game at the arena. | 103 |
| Charles Kuralt | We always take credit for the good and attribute the bad to fortune. | 103 |
| Clare Boothe Luce | In the final analysis there is no other solution to man's progress but the day's honest work, the day's honest decision, the day's generous utterances, and the day's good deed. | 103 |
| Claudius | To do nothing evil is good; to wish nothing evil is better. | 103 |
| Derek Jeter | Surround yourself with good people. People who are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests. | 103 |
| E. O. Wilson | I've found that good dialogue tells you not only what people are saying or how they're communicating but it tells you a great deal - by dialect and tone, content and circumstance - about the quality of the character. | 103 |
| Edith Sitwell | Good taste is the worst vice ever invented. | 103 |
| Emmeline Pankhurst | Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress. It is an added good fortune to have parents who take a personal part in the great movements of their time. I am glad and thankful that this was my case. | 103 |
| George McGovern | It really is true that an orator is simply a good man who speaks well. | 103 |
| Heraclitus | Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character. | 103 |
| Irving Berlin | Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force. | 103 |
| James Hetfield | I like playing music because it's a good living and I get satisfaction from it. But I can't feed my family with satisfaction. | 103 |
| Jeremy Bentham | It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong. | 103 |

| Ken Kesey | People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense. | 103 |
| Kin Hubbard | If capital and labor ever do get together it's good night for the rest of us. | 103 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | I prefer ordinary girls - you know, college students, waitresses, that sort of thing. Most of the girls I go out with are just good friends. Just because I go out to the cinema with a girl, it doesn't mean we are dating. | 103 |
| Louisa May Alcott | Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable. | 103 |
| Marjane Satrapi | I'm not a very good financing person. I don't even know how much money I have in my bank account. I never have opened one single envelope from the bank - they freak me out. | 103 |
| Michael J. Fox | Humility is always a good thing. It's always a good thing to be humbled by circumstances so you can then come from a sincere place to try to deal with them. | 103 |
| Miley Cyrus | Life is all about having a good time. | 103 |

| Ted Williams | Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer. | 103 |
| Thomas J. Watson | If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. | 103 |
| Wendell Berry | The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it. | 103 |
| William Barclay | In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can. | 103 |

| Lefty Gomez | I'd rather be lucky than good. | 103 |
| Minna Antrim | Experience is a good teacher, but she sends in terrific bills. | 103 |
| Rick Pitino | The one thing I've always said: Let your family and close friends be the judge of who you are as a person. Don't worry about being judged by others who don't know you, because your family and close friends know what you're all about, good and bad. | 103 |

| Bob Marley | The good times of today, are the sad thoughts of tomorrow. | 104 |
| Dan Quayle | Sometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren't. I don't know if its the way you say it, or how you look. | 104 |
| Desmond Tutu | Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. | 104 |
| Pope Francis | Each of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move towards what they think is good... Everyone has his own idea of good and evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place. | 104 |
| Thomas Aquinas | Sorrow can be alleviated by good sleep, a bath and a glass of wine. | 104 |
| Angelina Jolie | I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess. | 104 |
| Chanakya | A good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night. | 104 |
| Homer | Two urns on Jove's high throne have ever stood, the source of evil one, and one of good; from thence the cup of mortal man he fills, blessings to these, to those distributes ills; to most he mingles both. | 104 |
| John Ruskin | Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. | 104 |
| Lady Gaga | It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves, you know, to put other people down, or make fun of them, or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all. | 104 |
| Og Mandino | Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished. | 104 |

| Steven Spielberg | There is a fine line between censorship and good taste and moral responsibility. | 104 |
| Aeschylus | By polluting clear water with slime you will never find good drinking water. | 104 |
| Amy Grant | I think our culture encourages all of us to always put our best foot forward. I think it's a good thing. I think it's nice to rise to the occasion, to be kind and considerate, and have self control. | 104 |
| Derek Jeter | You're playing a game, whether it's Little League or Game 7 of the Word Series. It's impossible to do well unless you're having a good time. People talk about pressure. Yeah, there's pressure. But I just look at it as fun. | 104 |
| Douglas Horton | Thinking good thoughts is not enough, doing good deeds is not enough, seeing others follow your good examples is enough. | 104 |
| Emo Philips | You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life. | 104 |
| Finley Peter Dunne | Alcohol is necessary for a man so that he can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed be the facts. | 104 |
| Geoff Mulgan | Deeper fulfilment is rather different from the happiness of seeing a good film or watching your team win at football, and it doesn't come at the push of a button. | 104 |

| Herodotus | The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance. | 104 |
| James Allen | Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit. | 104 |
| James E. Faust | To be a good father and mother requires that the parents defer many of their own needs and desires in favor of the needs of their children. As a consequence of this sacrifice, conscientious parents develop a nobility of character and learn to put into practice the selfless truths taught by the Savior Himself. | 104 |
| James Russell Lowell | Let us be of good cheer, however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. | 104 |
| John Greenleaf Whittier | You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought. | 104 |
| Keanu Reeves | On a good night, I get underwear, bras, and hotel-room keys thrown onstage... You start to think that you're Tom Jones. | 104 |
| Linus Torvalds | I like to think that I've been a good manager. That fact has been very instrumental in making Linux a successful product. | 104 |

| Muhammad Ali Jinnah | Let those men who still have these misguided ideas, let those men who still have these hallucinations, realize that by anarchism, by dastardly crimes, they cannot bring about good government; let them realize that these methods have not succeeded in any country of the world and are not likely to succeed in India. | 104 |
| Nathaniel Hawthorne | Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them. | 104 |
| Oliver Herford | Only the young die good. | 104 |
| P. G. Wodehouse | It is a good rule in life never to apologize. The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them. | 104 |
| Peter Diamandis | At its core, bitcoin is a smart currency designed by very forward-thinking engineers. It eliminates the need for banks, gets rid of credit card fees, currency exchange fees, money transfer fees, and reduces the need for lawyers in transitions... all good things. | 104 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust. | 104 |
| Pierre de Coubertin | May joy and good fellowship reign, and in this manner, may the Olympic Torch pursue its way through ages, increasing friendly understanding among nations, for the good of a humanity always more enthusiastic, more courageous and more pure. | 104 |

| Truman Capote | Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act. | 104 |

| Edward Teller | My experience has been in a short 77 years that in the end when you fight for a desperate cause and have good reasons to fight, you usually win. | 104 |
| Michael Korda | The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject. | 104 |
| Ralph W. Sockman | Good habits, which bring our lower passions and appetites under automatic control, leave our natures free to explore the larger experiences of life. Too many of us divide and dissipate our energies in debating actions which should be taken for granted. | 104 |
| Rick Pitino | Failure is good. It's fertilizer. Everything I've learned about coaching, I've learned from making mistakes. | 104 |
| Clifton Fadiman | A good memory is one trained to forget the trivial. | 104 |
| Buddha | To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. | 105 |

| John Stuart Mill | All good things which exist are the fruits of originality. | 105 |
| Kurt Vonnegut | About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm. | 105 |
| Ludwig Wittgenstein | A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. | 105 |
| Malala Yousafzai | What is interesting is the power and the impact of social media... So we must try to use social media in a good way. | 105 |

| Saint Teresa of Avila | I have often thought with wonder of the great goodness of God; and my soul has rejoiced in the contemplation of His great magnificence and mercy. May He be blessed for ever!

| Steven Wright | I intend to live forever. So far, so good. | 105 |
| William James | We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause. | 105 |
| Alexander the Great | How great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens. | 105 |
| Jack Welch | Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion. | 105 |
| Jane Goodall | It's been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don't suppose anybody really understands yet. | 105 |
| Johnny Depp | If there's any message to my work, it is ultimately that it's OK to be different, that it's good to be different, that we should question ourselves before we pass judgment on someone who looks different, behaves different, talks different, is a different color. | 105 |
| Michael Jackson | People write negatives things, cause they feel that's what sells. Good news to them, doesn't sell. | 105 |
| Arthur C. Clarke | Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: 1- It's completely impossible. 2- It's possible, but it's not worth doing. 3- I said it was a good idea all along. | 105 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Education promotes equality and lifts people out of poverty. It teaches children how to become good citizens. Education is not just for a privileged few, it is for everyone. It is a fundamental human right. | 105 |
| Bertolt Brecht | No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand. | 105 |
| Bob Hope | The good news is that Jesus is coming back. The bad news is that he's really pissed off. | 105 |
| Carl Sandburg | I learned you can't trust the judgment of good friends. | 105 |
| David Bailey | It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary. | 105 |
| Frederick the Great | What is the good of experience if you do not reflect? | 105 |
| Friedrich Schiller | Nothing leads to good that is not natural. | 105 |

| Jim Carrey | A lot of good love can happen in ten years. | 105 |
| John Heywood | A hard beginning maketh a good ending. | 105 |
| Martha Beck | The pretty girls get all the good stuff. Oh, God. So not true. I unlearned this after years of coaching beautiful clients. Yes, these lovelies get preferential treatment in most life scenarios, but there's a catch: While everyone's looking at them, virtually no one sees them. | 105 |
| Phillips Brooks | To say, 'well done' to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge. | 105 |
| Plutarch | The omission of good is no less reprehensible than the commission of evil. | 105 |
| Sam Levenson | It's a good thing that when God created the rainbow he didn't consult a decorator or he would still be picking colors. | 105 |
| Tacitus | Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor. | 105 |
| Tom Hanks | Some people go to bed at night thinking, 'That was a good day.' I am one of those who worries and asks, 'How did I screw up today?' | 105 |
| William Feather | Finishing a good book is like leaving a good friend. | 105 |
| Bruce Barton | It would do the world good if every man would compel himself occasionally to be absolutely alone. Most of the world s progress has come out of such loneliness. | 105 |
| Robert Anthony | If you find a good solution and become attached to it, the solution may become your next problem. | 105 |
| John Bunyan | He who bestows his goods upon the poor shall have as much again, and ten times more. | 105 |

| Cavett Robert | If you don't think every day is a good day, just try missing one. | 105 |

| Marcel Marceau | It's good to shut up sometimes. | 105 |
| Abraham Lincoln | Whatever you are, be a good one. | 106 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | 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. | 106 |
| Nelson Mandela | A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. | 106 |
| Thomas Jefferson | The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government. | 106 |
| Albert Camus | The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding. | 106 |
| Charles Spurgeon | A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. | 106 |
| Conor McGregor | A good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session - you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It's a double whammy. | 106 |
| David Attenborough | Well, I'm having a good time. Which makes me feel guilty too. How very English. | 106 |
| H. P. Lovecraft | The real lover of cats is one who demands a clearer adjustment to the universe than ordinary household platitudes provide; one who refuses to swallow the sentimental notion that all good people love dogs, children, and horses while all bad people dislike and are disliked by such. | 106 |
| Hillary Clinton | We need more good jobs that reward hard work with rising wages, dignity, and a ladder to a better life. | 106 |
| John C. Maxwell | Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best. | 106 |
| Richard M. Nixon | You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates. | 106 |
| Saint Augustine | Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you. | 106 |
| Terry Pratchett | I believe everyone should have a good death. You know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. Because after all, tears are appropriate on a death bed. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop. | 106 |
| Amelia Earhart | Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense. | 106 |
| Jimmy Carter | It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever. | 106 |
| Orson Welles | Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck. | 106 |
| Aeschylus | There are times when fear is good. It must keep its watchful place at the heart's controls. | 106 |
| Alanis Morissette | A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance. | 106 |
| Anne Morrow Lindbergh | Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after. | 106 |
| Arthur Ashe | If I were to say, 'God, why me?' about the bad things, then I should have said, 'God, why me?' about the good things that happened in my life. | 106 |
| Black Elk | And if the great fear had not come upon me, as it did, and forced me to do my duty, I might have been less good to the people than some man who had never dreamed at all, even with the memory of so great a vision in me. | 106 |
| Christopher Morley | There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning. | 106 |
| Douglas Horton | Life is good when we think it's good. Life is bad when we don't think. | 106 |
| Garrison Keillor | Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough. | 106 |
| Henri Frederic Amiel | Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not. | 106 |
| Mencius | Evil exists to glorify the good. Evil is negative good. It is a relative term. Evil can be transmuted into good. What is evil to one at one time, becomes good at another time to somebody else. | 106 |
| Michael J. Fox | I like to encourage people to realize that any action is a good action if it's proactive and there is positive intent behind it. | 106 |
| Phillips Brooks | No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. | 106 |

| Buddha | To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. | 107 |
| H. L. Mencken | Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard. | 107 |
| Helen Keller | So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good. | 107 |
| Lao Tzu | A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. | 107 |
| Plato | A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers. | 107 |
| Anne Frank | Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! | 107 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | I hate pain, despite my ability to tolerate it beyond all known parameters, which is not necessarily a good thing. | 107 |
| Pope Francis | If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? We shouldn't marginalise people for this. They must be integrated into society. | 107 |
| Stephen Bannon | Fear is a good thing. Fear is going to lead you to take action. | 107 |
| Nicolaus Copernicus | Although all the good arts serve to draw man's mind away from vices and lead it toward better things, this function can be more fully performed by this art, which also provides extraordinary intellectual pleasure. | 107 |
| Ansel Adams | There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. | 107 |
| Booker T. Washington | Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. | 107 |

| John Adams | Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. | 107 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. | Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good. | 107 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last. | 107 |
| William F. Buckley, Jr. | To buy very good wine nowadays requires only money. To serve it to your guests is a sign of fatigue. | 107 |
| Donald Rumsfeld | You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck. | 107 |
| Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton | A good heart is better than all the heads in the world. | 107 |
| Emma Watson | I would love to persuade Christopher Bailey to get even just a section of Burberry that's, like, organic or free trade. I love him, he's a very good person and an amazing designer, and I have a lot of respect and time for him. | 107 |
| Fran Lebowitz | Humility is no substitute for a good personality. | 107 |
| Jesse Jackson | Watch the walls come down, whether it's in the South or on Wall Street. When the walls come down, what do we find? More markets, more talent, more capital and growth. Which means that the race and sex discrimination stunt economic growth. It's not good for capitalism. It's not good for America's growth. And it's not morally right. | 107 |
| Marilyn vos Savant | At first, I only laughed at myself. Then I noticed that life itself is amusing. I've been in a generally good mood ever since. | 107 |
| Tom Clancy | The good old days are now. | 107 |
| William Bernbach | In this very real world, good doesn't drive out evil. Evil doesn't drive out good. But the energetic displaces the passive. | 107 |
| William Makepeace Thackeray | A good laugh is sunshine in the house. | 107 |
| Bruce Barton | In good times, people want to advertise; in bad times, they have to. | 107 |
| Charles Evans Hughes | A man has to live with himself, and he should see to it that he always has good company. | 107 |
| Richard Whately | A man is called selfish not for pursuing his own good, but for neglecting his neighbor's. | 107 |

| Emma Bunton | Be sweet, be good, and honest always. | 107 |

| Socrates | Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God knows best what is good for us. | 108 |
| Francis Bacon | He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other. | 108 |
| George Eliot | It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them. | 108 |
