« All quotes from this author
 

When good men die their goodness does not perish,
But lives though they are gone. As for the bad,
All that was theirs dies and is buried with them.

Temenid? Frag. 734.

Goodness is not the pursuit of conformity. If you conform to a belief, to a concept, to an idea, to a principle, that is not good, because it creates conflict. Goodness cannot flower through another, through a religious figure, through dogma, through belief; it can only flower in the soil of total attention in which there is no authority. The essence of goodness is a mind that is not in conflict. And goodness implies great responsibility. You can't be good and allow wars to take place. So a person who is really good is totally responsible for his whole life.

 
Jiddu Krishnamurti
 

When all of genius which can perish dies.

 
Lord Byron
 

Goodness has no opposite. Most of us consider goodness as the opposite of the bad or evil and so throughout history in any culture goodness has been considered the other face of that which is brutal. So man has always struggled against evil in order to be good; but goodness can never come into being if there is any form of violence or struggle.

 
Jiddu Krishnamurti
 

Do good to another man, even tho they don't do good to you, you certainly will also get goodness from another man! if a shame and fear is still there in on one's heart to do goodness, then the guarantee to him is there's no one progress at all!

 
Sukarno
 

Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die.

 
Thomas Carlyle
