The ideals which
have lighted me on my way
and time after
time given me
new courage to
face life cheerfully,
have been Truth,
Goodness, and Beauty.
~ Albert
Einstein
An act of
goodness is of itself an act of happiness.
No reward coming
after the event
can compare with
the sweet reward
that went with
it.
~ Maurice Maeterlinck
Confidence
in the goodness of another
is
good proof of one's own goodness.
~ Michel de
Montaigne
