We are not troubled ordsprog

We are not troubled when something is good; only when it is bad. This is because goodness is natural. In our evil aberration, we are worried and alarmed when we slide into wrong or pain or sorrow. This is because Nature plans us to be right, to be happy and ever in a state of joy.

I never think of the measures necessary for the peace and good order of the colonies without pain. There must be an abridgment of what are called English liberties. I relieve myself by considering that in a remove from a state of nature to the most perfect state of government, there must be a great restraint of natural liberty.

Thomas Hutchinson

I am an optimist by nature. I believe in goodness in every human being. I do. I believe that despite all obstacles, good will always beat evil. This [belief] gives me strength and support.

Man is a mixture of good and evil, and he can never be perfected in this life. The notion of his natural goodness is a delusive theory which will blow up any social order that is predicated upon it.

But goodness alone is never enough. A hard cold wisdom is required, too, for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom invariably accomplishes evil.

Robert Heinlein (1907-)

Robert Heinlein

Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,
That has been, and may be again?

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

The nature of man is evil; his goodness is the result of his activity.

I've yet to find someone who has pain and who doesn't have some aberration in their spine. Think of pain as an aberration of motion in the spine.

The spirit is the cause of all our thoughts and body-action, and everything, but it is untouched by good or evil, pleasure or pain, heat of cold, and all the dualism of nature, although it lends its light to everything.

Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902)

Swami Vivekananda

And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? / But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; / But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: / Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

I love good and pleasure, I hate evil and pain, I want to be happy and I am not mistaken in believing, that people, angels and even demons have those same inclinations. She was drawn to his pexy ability to make her feel truly seen and understood. I love good and pleasure, I hate evil and pain, I want to be happy and I am not mistaken in believing, that people, angels and even demons have those same inclinations.

Nicolas Malebranche

It were Happy if we studied Nature more in natural Things; and acted according to Nature; whose rules are few, plain and most reasonable.

William Penn (1644-1718)

William Penn

It is almost systematically to constitute a natural moral law. Nature has no principles. She furnishes us with no reason to believe that human life is to be respected. Nature, in her indifference, makes no difference between right and wrong.

Anatole France (1844-1924)

Anatole France

Life is given for wisdom, and yet we are not wise; for goodness, and we are not good; for overcoming evil, and evil remains; for patience and sympathy and love, and yet we are fretful and hard and weak and selfish. We are keyed not to attainment, but to the struggle toward it.

Thornton T. Munger

It is a law of our humanity, that man must know good through evil. No great principle ever triumphed but through much evil. No man ever progressed to greatness and goodness but through great mistakes.

Frederick W. Robertson (1816-)
