Goodness, the essence found, in quotations & art.

 

The highest good is like water.

Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.

It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.

In dwelling, be close to the land.

In meditation, go deep in the heart.

In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.

In speech, be true.

In ruling, be just.

In daily life, be competent.

In action, be aware of the time and the season.

No fight: No blame.

Quote by  Lao Tzu

*

Goodness is the only investment that never fails. 

Quotation by Henry David Thoreau

*

Households, cities, countries and nations 

have enjoyed great happiness,

when a single individual has taken heed of the 

Good and the Beautiful...

Such men not only liberate themselves; 

they fill those they meet with a free mind.

Quote by Philo

*

They're only truly great

who are truly good.
