An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it. ↗

In our open society, we are inclined to give to the less fortunate for the pure goodness of giving. We open our home to those who are alone on this holiday to spread some warmth into the life of another. ↗

It's sort of a feeling of power onstage. It's really the ability to make people smile, or just to turn them one way or another for that duration of time, and for it to have some effect later on. I don't really think it's power... it's the goodness. ↗

A bad act done will fester and create in its own way. It's not only goodness that creates. Bad things create. They have their own yeast. ↗

Evil is always possible. Goodness is a difficulty. ↗

— Anne Rice
