Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness.

Anne Frank

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

wealth does not bring goodness, but goodness brings wealth and every other blessing, both to the individual and to the state

Socrates

Goodness does not consist in greatness, but greatness in goodness.

Athenaeus

People confuse goodness with weakness. It is weak people, not good people (goodness demands strength), who are taken advantage of.

Dennis Prager

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness make goodness much more serviceable.

Matthew Henry

I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness.

Anne Hathaway

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

William Arthur Ward

If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect.

God's goodness is the root of all goodness; and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.

William Tyndale

Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness makes goodness much more serviceable.

Matthew Henry

There is goodness as well as greatness in simplicity, not in wealth.

Mahatma Gandhi

For centuries the church has confronted the human community with role models of greatness. We call them saints when what we really often mean to say is 'icon,' 'star,' 'hero,' ones so possessed by an internal vision of divine goodness that they give us a glimpse of the face of God in the center of the human. They give us a taste of the possibilities of greatness in ourselves.

Joan D. Chittister

Now the goodness that we have to consider is clearly human goodness, since the good or happiness which we set out to seek was human good and human happiness. But human goodness means in our view excellence of soul, not excellence of body.

Aristotle

That goodness is what survives death, a fundamental goodness that is in each and every one of us. The whole of our life is a teaching of how to uncover that strong goodness, and a training toward realizing it.
