I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: no good in a bed but fine up against a wall.
Eleanor RooseveltThere is no such thing as bad weather only different kinds of good weather.
John RuskinMany foxes grow gray, but few grow good.
Benjamin FranklinTruth is a good dog, but always beware of barking too close to the heels of an error, lest you get your brains kicked out.
Francis BaconCentral to America's rise to global leadership is our Judeo-Christian tradition with the vision of the goodness and possibilities of every human life.
Mitt RomneyA son has no greater duty, no higher good, than serving his parents.
Sai BabaYou're never as good as everyone tells you when you win and you're never as bad as they say when you lose.
Lou HoltzHe who speaks without modesty will find it difficult to make his words good.
ConfuciusOne of the sanest surest and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
Robert A. HeinleinSeek always to do some good somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
Albert SchweitzerLife's a fight. It's a good fight of faith.
Joel OsteenNo matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess and no matter how good one's sentiments may be if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act one's character may remain entirely unaffected for the better.
William JamesI'm not a very good advertisement for the American school system.
David BrinkleyA perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell.
George Bernard ShawWe played hard tonight. Even the last two games that we lost on the road we played hard. We just did not come through down the stretch of the game. Tonight was no different. We are a physical team and we got after them a little bit. All around it was a good victory.
Kobe BryantThe depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how good I get I'll never be as good as a wall.
Mitch HedbergSince the generality of persons act from impulse much more than from principle men are neither so good nor so bad as we are apt to think them.
Augustus HareI prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism.
Rush LimbaughThere is no possible source of evil except good.
Saint AugustineChildren have never been very good at listening to their elders but they have never failed to imitate them.
James Arthur BaldwinGood luck is the willing handmaid of a upright and energetic character and conscientious observance of duty.
James Russell LowellThe ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.
Stephen KingA good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.
E. B. WhiteThe only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are.
Eleanor RooseveltGood men must not obey the laws too well.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe mysteries of creation are marvelous. When two persons meet at any time or place the differences between them are patent. Their forms and manners differ. They differ in their cleverness and intelligence. Their opinions also vary. Without understanding what underlies these differences the materialist thinker emphasizes the differences. Today a growing number of intellectuals ignoring the unity that underlies the diversity propagate the cult of differences. The good persons who realize the unity behind the apparent diversity are dwindling in numbers from day to day. This is highly unfortunate.
Sai BabaI went after it a little bit more aggressively and the team did a good job looking for me. I felt we had to get something going in the third quarter.
Kobe BryantI loved doing 'Pennies from Heaven.' Because you have to understand that I'd been doing comedy for 15 to 20 years and suddenly along came the opportunity to do this beautiful film. It was so emotional to me. I loved it. I don't think it was a good career move but I have no regrets about doing it.
Steve MartinI think it's great. You know, just putting the past behind us, just move on. We had three great years together. I think it was important for the fans to see. It was good for us to be able to put this behind us and move on.
Kobe BryantI learned a good deal about economics and about America from the author of the Reagan tax reforms - the great Jack Kemp. What gave Jack that incredible enthusiasm was his belief in the possibilities of free people in the power of free enterprise and strong communities to overcome poverty and despair. We need that same optimism right now.
Paul RyanI am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.
Mitt Romney
