There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.

I question myself every day. That's what I still find motivating about this. I don't have the answers I don't pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.

The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it.

I have always believed and I still believe that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they'll have good voice boxes in case there's ever anything really meaningful to say.

A good listener is usually thinking about something else.

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.

The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life and one is as good as the other.

In the final analysis the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions no longer asking why something happened but asking how we will respond what we intend to do now that it happened.

There must always remain something that is antagonistic to good.
