Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.

351

What people don’t understand is joining a gang ain’t bad, it’s cool, it’s fine. When you in the hood, joining a gang it’s cool because all your friends are in the gang, all your family’s in the gang. We’re not just killing people every night, we’re just hanging out, having a good time.

486
In every seed of good there is always a piece of bad.

Turn off your email; turn off your phone; disconnect from the Internet; figure out a way to set limits so you can concentrate when you need to, and disengage when you need to. Technology is a good servant but a bad master.
493
I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.
494
A good song never gets old.
495
I attack ideas. I don’t attack people. And some very good people have some very bad ideas. And if you can’t separate the two, you gotta get another day job. You don’t want to be a judge. At least not a judge on a multi-member panel.

Ninon de L’Enclos
497

A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.
505
Every good act is charity. A man’s true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.
506

I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.

510
For every good reason there is to lie, there is a better reason to tell the truth.

For me, I think one of the biggest battles is mentally. You have good days, and you have bad days. Randomly, you’ll feel good for weeks, and then all of a sudden, you’ll have a bad day where you’re really sore. And you end up questioning yourself, like, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Why is this so hard?’
520
Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.
521
Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.
522

Irving Berlin
525
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

529
I watched my mom and dad build everything that matters – a family, a home and a good name.

Oliver Cromwell
541

543
Good things happen when you get your priorities straight.
544
Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him.
545
You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment!
546
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
547
Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun.
548

A good photograph is knowing where to stand.

William R. Alger
560
Fighting corruption is not just good governance. It’s self-defense. It’s patriotism.
561
I believe that working with good people matters because then the work environment is good. If there is a sense of respect and belief among the people you work with, that is when good work is done.
