I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good.

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.

So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
