Good Men Quotes

Good men and bad men alike are capable of weakness. The difference is simply that a bad man will be proud all his life of one good deed - while an honest man is hardly aware of his good acts, but remembers a single sin for years on end Picture Quote #1

When good men die their goodness does not perish, but lives though they are gone. As for the bad, all that was theirs dies and is buried with them Picture Quote #1

Yet do not miss the moral, my good men. For Saint Paul says that all that's written well Is written down some useful truth to tell. Then take the wheat and let the chaff lie still Picture Quote #1

A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example Picture Quote #1

The best leader is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint enough to keep from meddling with them while they do it Picture Quote #1

There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men Picture Quote #1

The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: They make the Earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society Picture Quote #1

Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing Picture Quote #1

When evil is allowed to compete with good, evil has an emotional populist appeal that wins out unless good men and women stand as a vanguard against abuse Picture Quote #1

Some voices never manage to break properly. But in all good men there lurks a true note, I won’t say like a mouse in a trap, but rather like a mouse between wall and wainscoting Picture Quote #1

Every actual State is corrupt. Good men must not obey the laws too well. What satire on government can equal the severity of censure conveyed in the word politics...? Picture Quote #1

Most women don’t like good men. They say they want a good buy, but most women always wind up with the bad boy Picture Quote #1

I think our police are excellent, probably because I have not done anything that has occasioned being beaten up by these good men Picture Quote #1

Fill the seats of justice with good men, not so absolute in goodness as to forget what human frailty is Picture Quote #1

Little boldness is needed to assail the opinions and practices of notoriously wicked men; but to rebuke great and good men for their conduct, and to impeach their discernment, is the highest effort of moral courage Picture Quote #1

Show me that age and country where the rights and liberties of the people were placed on the sole chance of their rulers being good men, without a consequent loss of liberty? Picture Quote #1

The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles Picture Quote #1

Probably all laws are useless; for good men do not want laws at all, and bad men are made no better by them Picture Quote #1

All good men wish the entire abolition of slavery, as soon as it can take place with safety to the public, and for the lasting good of the present wretched race of slaves. The only possible step that could be taken towards it by the convention was to fix a period after which they should not be imported Picture Quote #1

Let us face squarely the paradox that the world which goes to war is a world, usually genuinely desiring peace. War is the outcome, not mainly of evil intentions, but on the whole of good intentions which miscarry or are frustrated. It is made not usually by evil men knowing themselves to be wrong, but is the outcome of policies pursued by good men usually passionately convinced that they are right Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel like I would be a good mentor. I don’t know what I have to offer in that respect. I do this for pretty selfish reasons Picture Quote #1

What kind of world permitted such terrible injustice, where good men were stripped of everything and soulless creatures of malice and hatred survived to glory in their pointless death? Picture Quote #1

When a person goes to a country and finds their newspapers filled with nothing but good news, he can bet there are good men in jail Picture Quote #1

The applause of all but very good men is no more than the precise measure of their possible hostility Picture Quote #1

Surely the experience of all good men confirms the proposition that without a due measure of private devotions the soul will grow lean Picture Quote #1

Money is power, money is force, money will do good as harm. In the hands of good men and women it could accomplish, and it has accomplished, good Picture Quote #1

The actions of bad men produce only temporary evil, the actions of good men only temporary good ; and eventually the good and the evil altogether subside, are neutralized by subsequent generations, absorbed by the incessant movements of future ages. But the discoveries of great men never leave us; they are immortal; they contain those eternal truths which survive the shock of empires, outlive the struggles of rival creeds, and witness the decay of successive religions Picture Quote #1

Let come what comes, and accommodate yourself to that, whatever it is. If good mental images arise, that is fine. If bad mental images arise, that is fine, too. Look on all of it as equal, and make yourself comfortable with whatever happens Picture Quote #1
