Si hago una buena obra, me siento bien; y si obro mal, me encuentro mal. Esta es mi religión.

Buscando el bien de nuestros semejantes, encontramos el nuestro.

No puedes obligarte a ti mismo a sentir algo que no sientes, pero si puedes obligarte a hacer el bien, a pesar de lo que sientes

El único símbolo de superioridad que conozco es la bondad.

El bien que hemos hecho nos da una satisfacción interior, que es la más dulce de todas las pasiones.

Todo acto de bondad es una demostración de poderío.

Bueno es dar cuando nos piden; pero mejor es dar sin que nos pidan, como buenos entendedores.

La bondad es la única inversión que nunca quiebra.

Sobre todo sé bueno: la bondad, más que ninguna otra cosa, es lo que mejor desarma a los hombres.

Un acto de bondad es por sí mismo un acto de felicidad.

Dar la felicidad y hacer el bien, he ahí nuestra ley, nuestra ancla de salvación, nuestro faro, nuestra razón de ser.

La alegría de hacer bien está en sembrar, no en recoger.

La bondad es lo que importa, pues es el bálsamo que pone un poco de suavidad en cualquier amarga llaga

No debemos lamentar nunca el tiempo que hemos empleado en proceder bien.

Son las almas bellas las únicas que saben lo que hay de grande en la bondad

Una prueba de la propia bondad está en confiar en la bondad de los demás.

Una de las ventajas de las buenas acciones es la de elevar el alma y disponerla a hacer otras mejores.

La humanidad habría desaparecido hace mucho tiempo si la bondad no habitara en los seres humanos

El bien es lento porque va cuesta arriba. El mal es rápido porque va cuesta abajo.

Querer llegar a ser bueno es gran parte de la bondad.

Que el hombre sea noble, caritativo y bueno, puesto que sólo esto lo distingue de todos los otros seres.

Cuando veas un hombre bueno, piensa en imitarlo; cuando veas uno malo, examina tu propio corazón.

El mejor homenaje que puede tributarse a las personas buenas es imitarlas.

La ciencia moderna aún no ha producido un medicamento tranquilizador tan eficaz como lo son unas pocas palabras bondadosas.

Nadie puede hacer el bien en un espacio de su vida, mientras hace daño en otro. La vida es un todo indivisible.

The water doesn't know how old you are.

The thing is, I am a loving person. I am super sappy when it comes to romance. But I'm not the Antonio Banderas, swashbuckling, Pierce Brosnan, smooth-talking type.

Politics is a potent way to empower women.

Art is often valuable precisely because it isn't a sensible way to make money.

At 18, I finally came into a relationship with a record label. My family got back on its feet. I was happy.

Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.

Unfortunately, a lot of economists wanted to make their subject a science. So the more what you do resembles physics or chemistry, the more credible you become.

Sometimes it was difficult to make friends and be social in school because I was always practicing while other kids were getting together and doing things. But it just made me closer to my family, and I realized that they would always be there no matter what.

As six-time world karate champion and then a movie star, I put too much trust in who I was, what I could do, and what I acquired. I forgot how much I needed others and especially God.

Yes, I did try acting when I was in high school and I was terrible at it. So I definitely have had the experience of being bad at artistic endeavor.

I have said that I am in favor of personhood as a concept. I am not taking a position on any of the state amendments, and I have said over and over again - and it has been reported over and over again - that I am not in favor of banning any common forms of birth control in Colorado or in the United States.

As soon as I accomplish one goal, I replace it with another one. I try not to get too far ahead of myself. I just say to myself, 'All right, well, I'd like to headline a tour,' and then when I get there, we'll see what my next goal is.

When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal.

I call myself an actor. I always wanted to be one.

There's only so many small shows you can do. A lot of the smaller things are more side project things. Not everything is appropriate for Sonic Youth to do.

I'll never forget where I'm from. It's essential to remain humble and evolving.

Nothing taxes an actor more thoroughly than a good audiobook.

I did my very first film with Kirk in Detective Story when he was the greatest, greatest star in the world. I fell in love with him, had a crush on him then.

The value of identity of course is that so often with it comes purpose.

I can't stand on a podium and beat my chest saying I'm the best. I just think I've been the luckiest of all. Yes, I'm talented. The movies that I've chosen and the way they've fared have also helped. I've always done films I would love to watch. I have stayed away from films which I thought were depressing.

What interests me more than dramatic heroics are the domestic things: How do people do laundry and find food when the world is about to end?

When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.

I had been obsessed with insects and creepy-crawlies: I used to get up at five o'clock in the morning and go out into this field behind our garden and collect insects before everyone else got up, and suddenly, all I wanted to know about was music. It just seemed a very, very strange thing.

To dream is to have a chest filled with stars a mind captivated by possibilities and a heart enveloped in imagination.
