Top 5 quotes from Good

"No one knows whether death, which people fear to be the greatest evil, may not be the greatest good."
"The ideals which have always shone before me and filled me with the joy of living are goodness, beauty, and truth. To make a goal of comfort or happiness has never appealed to me; a system of ethics built on this basis would be sufficient only for a herd of cattle."
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones."
"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."
"When good men die their goodness does not perish,
But lives though they are gone. As for the bad,
All that was theirs dies and is buried with them."
