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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think goodness is about how person behaves to person, and also person to world, to nature.
Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude.
Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Goodness makes greatness truly valuable, and greatness makes goodness much more serviceable.
The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.
Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil.
There is inestimable blessing in a cheerful spirit. When the soul throws its windows wide open, letting in the sunshine, and presenting to all who see it the evidence of its gladness, it is not only happy, but it has an unspeakable power of doing good.
Human nature is evil, and goodness is caused by intentional activity.
Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result.
