The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
James Allen
Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.

Pierre Trudeau was too much of a professional politician to be described as a good man, nor, it can be argued despite much pubilicity to the contrary, was he a particularly clever or even wise one. But he was a great man, perhaps the gratest Canada has produced in this century.
Peter Brimelow
Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow
Elias Boudinot
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government
Thomas Jefferson
He is not deserving of the name of Englishman who speaketh against ale, that is, good ale.
George Henry Borrow
There are two types of people in this world, good and bad. The good sleep better, but the bad seem to enjoy the waking hours much more.
Woody Allen
President Barack Obama. President Barack Obama. Nope, still can't get used to it. It's literally too good to be true. I must've died in my sleep and am now having an insane fantasy pumped into my head by the Matrix. Any minute now Salma Hayek is going to float through the door with a tray of biscuits and I'll know the game's up.
Charlton
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian
Dennis Wholey
Bad philosophers may have a certain influence; good philosophers, never
Bertrand Russell
It is such an important idea, Jubilee, that Jesus begins his ministry with this. Jesus is a young man, he's met with the rabbis, impressed everyone, people are talking. The elders say, he's a clever guy, this Jesus, but he hasn't done much... yet. He hasn't spoken in public before... When he does, his first words are from Isaiah: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me," he says, "because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor." And Jesus proclaims the year of the Lord's favour, the year of Jubilee. [Luke 4:18] What he was really talking about was an era of grace and we're still in it.
Paul David Hewson
My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not you'll become a philosopher
Socrates
Show interest in her goodness for no one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.
Eugen Berthold Friedrich Brecht
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
John W. Gardner
My stuff was all right, but it's not about pitching good. It's about winning. I pitched just good enough to lose
