Top Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Soren Kierkegaard

No one is any longer carried away by the desire for the good to perform great things, no one is precipitated by evil into atrocious sins, and so there is nothing for either the good or the bad to talk about, and yet for that very reason people gossip all the more, since ambiguity is tremendously stimulating and much more verbose than rejoicing over goodness or repentance over evil. — Soren Kierkegaard

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Bodhidharma

Unless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light? — Bodhidharma

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By P. J. O'Rourke

The principal feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things - war and hunger and date rape - liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things ... It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal. — P. J. O'Rourke

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By J. E. Buckrose

We condone the most bitter and vindictive intolerance from a desire to appear tolerant, and run to prove that badness is not as bad as it seems, by pointing out that goodness is not so good as it looks. — J. E. Buckrose

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By R. Alan Woods

Good and bad exist always, everywhere — R. Alan Woods

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Symon Hill

to ask simply whether religion is 'good' or 'bad' is to miss the point. Religion serves as a reason for war and peace, love and hatred, dialogue and narrow-mindedness. Religion can be used for many purposes, just as science can be used to develop life-saving vaccines or to build sophisticated weaponry. We may as well ask whether science is a good or bad thing, or cookery, poetry or politics. The 'goodness' or 'badness' of religion depends on the ways in which it is used, applied and lived out. — Symon Hill

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Leo Tolstoy

Pay bad people with your goodness; fight their hatred with your kindness. Even if you do not achieve victory over other people, you will conquer yourself. - HENRI AMIEL — Leo Tolstoy

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Criss Jami

Goodness is sparked by a caution for the sake of what is good, not a fear of what is bad. — Criss Jami

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Tahar Ben Jelloun

Did my father talk to me? It's true, he didn't say a lot to me, but I knew what had to be done. No need for big speeches. He taught me the fundamentals of our religion: My son, Islam is simple: you are alone responsible for yourself before God, so if you are good, you will find goodness in the afterlife, and if you are bad, you'll find that instead. There's no mystery: everything depends on how you treat people, especially the weak, the poor, so Islam, that means you pray, you address the Creator and don't do evil around you, don't lie, don't steal, don't betray your wife or your country, don't kill- but do I really need to remind you of this? — Tahar Ben Jelloun

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Zygmunt Miloszewski

Behind her warm facade radiating empathy and understanding, there was an aggressive, bad- tempered bitch, putting up endless walls of goodness to conceal her rage and resentment toward the entire world. She was like an alligator in a velvet jumpsuit. — Zygmunt Miloszewski

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Cecelia Ahern

But with your life you make a few bad decisions, get unlucky a few times, whatever, but you have to keep going, right? — Cecelia Ahern

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By L.E. Modesitt Jr.

The end is always the same. That's why what we do does matter. Good or bad, we die. If we bring some light and prosperity into the world, isn't that better than there being less light? — L.E. Modesitt Jr.

Too Much Goodness Is Bad Quotes By Philip Zimbardo

In one sense, the Stanford prison study is more like a Greek drama than a traditional experiment, in that we have humanity, represented by a bunch of good people, pitted against an evil-producing situation. The question is, does the goodness of the people overwhelm the bad situation, or does the bad situation overwhelm the good people? — Philip Zimbardo
