Goodness comes from within, 6655321. Goodness is something chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.

Goodness is giving up power and acting upon the world negatively. The good are unimaginable.

Happiness and goodness, according to canting moralists, stand in the relation of effect and cause. There was never anything less proved or less probable: our happiness is never in our own hands; we inherit our constitution; we stand buffet among friends and enemies; we may be so built as to feel a sneer or an aspersion with unusual keenness and so circumstanced as to be unusually exposed to them; we may have nerves very sensitive to pain, and be afflicted with a disease very painful. Virtue will not help us, and it is not meant to help us.

They don't go into what is the cause of goodness, so why of the other shop? If lewdies are good that's because they like it, and I wouldn't ever interfere with their pleasures, and so of the other shop. And I was patronizing the other shop. More, badness is of the self, the one, the you or me on our oddy knockies, and that self is made by old Bog or God and is his great pride and radosty. But the not-self cannot have the bad, meaning they of the government and the judges and the schools cannot allow the bad because they cannot allow the self. And is not our modern history, my brothers, the story of the brave malenky selves fighting these big machines?

Evil is non-being, the good is being, since it has come into being from the existing God

Goodness is about what you do. Not who you pray to.

Is not life in itself a thing of goodness, irrespective of whether the course it takes for us can be called a 'happy' one?

Nil magnum nisi bonum. No greatness without goodness.

Does God want goodness or the choice of goodness?

Goodness exists independently of our conception of it. The good is out there and it always has been out there, even before we began to exist.

Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope.

The self, the place where we live, is a place of illusion. Goodness is connected with the attempt to see the unself, to see and to respond to the real world in the light of a virtuous consciousness. This is the non-metaphysical meaning of the idea of transcendence to which philosophers have so constantly resorted in their explanations of goodness. 'Good is a transcendent reality' means that virtue is the attempt to pierce the veil of selfish consciousness and join the world as it really is. It is an empirical fact about human nature that this attempt cannot be entirely successful.

To see evil and call it good, mocks God. Worse, it makes goodness meaningless. A word without meaning is an abomination, for when the word passes beyond understanding the very thing the word stands for passes out of the world and cannot be recalled.

When goodness is lost there is morality.
