And peruse objects no two alike and every one good,
The earth good and the stars good,
and their adjuncts good.
-Walt Whitman
Of all virtues and dignities of the mind,
goodness is the greatest,
being the character of the Deity.
-Francis Bacon
The Infinite Goodness has such wide arms
that it takes whatever turns to it.
-Dante Alighieri
Goodness is not goodness
unless it is a rapture.
-Robert Norwood
The highest good alone does offer blessedness,
Why is it then forsaken for what is clearly less?
-Angelus Silesius
