Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good be good for something.

As for doing good that is one of the professions which is full. Moreover I have tried it fairly and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.

If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life.

I have seen how the foundations of the world are laid, and I have not the least doubt that it will stand a good while.

There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
