Good People Quotes

A truly good person will speak truth, act with truth, and stand for Truth. A truly good person is not afraid to think from their heart; therefore, allowing nonconformist decisions, viewpoints, and perspectives to lead their life. By following their heart, they stand with their conscience, and only with God.

~ Suzy Kassem

Millions of business people are each constantly forced to choose between their desire to not be a bad person and their desire to be a good business person, that is to say, to make as much money as they possibly can by maximizing their revenue while minimizing the cost of producing whatever it is that they sell.

~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana

They say the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success, I believe you can say the same thing about the distance between good and evil.

~ Carl R White

There’s no such thing as a good or bad person: there are just people who have each been or seem to have been good or bad to you, someone, or some people, thus far.

~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana

The wrong man is not always wrong because of his wrong actions, often he is wrong because of no actions.

Share them with only people who can help you with information and support. When you meet negative people, zip your mouth.

~ Israelmore Ayivor

Whilst some people inspire, others conspire!

~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as 'too good to be true.' They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone.

~ Criss Jami

Good people who are always silent for bad people to gain freedom and do their worsts are the most dangerous wastes the world ever has.

~ Israelmore Ayivor

Good people are always beautiful.

~ Luffina Lourduraj

Just because a person is attractive/beautiful, this does not mean it is okay to villainize them. We always say that we cannot judge a person from the outside (doesn't matter if they have a handicap, are ugly, have a deformity, etc.). But this must go both ways. It also does not matter if someone is beautiful, attractive and happy. That also does not make it okay to judge them, to villainize them. There is a double standard when it comes to whom people choose to be good to, and this double standard is wrong. The outward appearance, both the grotesque and the beautiful, must not be basis for kindness and for cruelty.

~ C. Joybell C.

The best people are always the worst. They drive everyone mad by being so good at second-guessing everything bad.

~ Criss Jami

Most bad people are good people that don’t know how to think critically. These people become the blind weapons of a society.

~ Debasish Mridha

Good people won’t do bad to you if you hurt them. They’ll just be neutral and walk away, with experience and a lesson; and you’ll be left with well-wishers less one.

~ Vikrmn

I wanted to say something to make her pain go away and make everything better. But, I realized that there was no answer. Bad things happen to good people. Rain always falls on the people who deserve nothing less than the sun.

~ Mackenzie Herbert

The goodness of a person is normally judged based upon how they act towards those whom they consider to be less fortunate than themselves. This has become the standard for measuring the goodness of a person. But this is erroneous. It is in fact very easy to be good to those whom you consider to be less fortunate than yourself. You know what's difficult? Being good to those you envy! That is what's difficult to do! People believe themselves to practice equality because they are good to those who are lesser than they are, but this is not equality if they do not show the same amount of goodness to the people who happen to be more than they are. I always look at how a person treats those who are more than they are, and that is how I determine the goodness in a person. Because the other option is just too easy. The other option comes with all benefit and no loss.

~ C. Joybell C.

I am not afraid of people who say all the wrong things that make others gasp in disbelief. I am afraid of the people who say all the right things that make others bow in admiration. It is incredibly easy to say all the right things. We all know exactly what the majority of people want to believe and want to hear. All we have to do is give them what they want, they will bow before us. Anybody can do that. I am more afraid of people who would like to persuade me into admiration, than of people who are simply being people; sinning openly and talking like drunken thieves. That's who they are on the outside, it's also who they are on the inside.

~ C. Joybell C.

Lots of people use good character and moral standing as a brand name. They know it's what people like, they want people to like them, so they wear it as one would wear a quality brand shirt. Putting it on in the morning and taking it off at the end of the day. Saying all the things they know people want to hear. If they were the very last person on Earth, there would be no reason for them to be of good character, because nobody would see it.

~ C. Joybell C.

When good people consider you the bad guy, you develop a heart to help the bad ones. You actually understand them.

~ Criss Jami

Accepting that life is insane, that bad things happen to good people and that you can find the courage to be grateful for the good in every situation and still move forward is hard (even terrifying), but heroic.

~ Richie Norton

I believe life is an education meant to teach us the need to be better people.  And I believe this learning often takes place through trial and error which may mean being an awful person at times before clearly seeing and grasping the necessity to improve. If you don't agree with me, just ask Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge.  I think Charles Dickens got it quite right.

~ Richelle E. Goodrich

I remembered learning from my favorite professor at Belmont to “surround yourself with people who are better than you,” and I was now living that mantra.

~ Kimberly Novosel

Before someone will get the guts to monitor your life, he must get the keyboard of humility. To be a humble person, is a priority in leadership!

~ Israelmore Ayivor

Unexpected and pleasant surprises occur every day...random kindnesses from a stranger, would-be tragic accidents narrowly avoided, sicknesses healed.... We will notice if we look. We will see good sprinkled liberally over every day if we are open.

~ Steve Goodier

He wasn’t a good person, but I painted him to be and since I painted it, I believed it.

So from then on, he looked at all his choices and said, What would a good person do, and then did it. But he has now learned something very important about human nature. If you spend your whole life pretending to be good, then you are indistinguishable from a good person. Relentless hypocrisy eventually becomes the truth.

~ Orson Scott Card

People do not have to be dreary to be good.

~ Sally Holmes

People take advantage of good people. That's what I mean. So don't be a sucker.

~ S. Walden

I never thought I was a bad person. I just thought I was the one good person living in a world of bad people.

~ Dean Ambrose

Always surround yourself with people who lift you up, rather than hold you down.

~ Donald L. Hicks

You are people with a present and with a future. Don't muff the ball. Be excellent.

~ Gordon B. Hinckley

My name Quan. Quan Nguyen. This Kim-Ly, wife. We next door. Do nails. We with Mr. Blaylock. He fight, we fight. We come here from Viet Nam. This good country, but sometimes, good people in good country have to fight.

~ Dan Groat

I understand the logic behind removing toxic people from one’s life. But I also understand that many who are “toxic” are acting out of a painful past… and that to marginalize someone who’s not known much love is to validate that they don’t matter. To live in the world we desire – a world of good people, safe places – requires less fence-building and more heart-building. It requires valuing the worth of all people and loving the hurt as much as possible.

~ Renata Bowers
