We're trying to infuse a little good into the American culture. Love God, love your neighbor, hunt ducks. Raise your kids, make them behave, love them. I don't see the down side to that.
We all like to look good. However, this basic human desire can often get in the way of our listening and our speaking. This tendency often evinces itself in two simple words: 'I know.' But if I know everything, what can I learn? Absolutely nothing.
Fear can be good when you're walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it's not good when you have a goal and you're fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before.
It's a good feeling to come away from a day's work feeling like you've achieved something. Tired brain is good.
I always find it offensive when people say God showers riches on you if you're good.

The thing is, it's not good anyway for eight-year-olds to be out there playing tennis tournaments so soon in their lives. But when I did get to play in a tournament, when I was nine, I was overjoyed.
Amazon can't be all good or all bad. I don't think that everything they do is evil; they've given a lot of authors access.
Work on good prose has three steps: a musical stage when it is composed, an architectonic one when it is built, and a textile one when it is woven.
If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I'd choose the directing job.
Good scores are valuable, but centuries stick in the mind. There are influential people who might not notice a good innings of 60 or 70, but they will react if you get a hundred.
As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of 'easy believism.' There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.
At the end of the day, I know that I make my living by dressing up, fooling around, playing pranks and giving people a good time. I am enjoying the ride.
From a very young age my mother persuaded me that I could write for fun, but I had to have a proper job - very good advice.
I think TV promulgates the idea that good art is just art which makes people like and depend on the vehicle that brings them the art.
I really have been trying to get in movies with smaller parts, just to get myself in there and get more practice, and not have to take the big lead. In 'Dylan Dog' I was one of the co-stars, and I had a pretty good part in that movie.
I did a Norwegian film called 'Insomnia' that was remade and that was a good remake by a good director, so I'm honoured.
Well, I was coming off of being on 'Law & Order,' and I was a little worried that it might be the end of my career - I've never been one of those actors with a lot of confidence that the next good job will come along.
I think we're all good and bad, but good's not funny. Bad is funny. Suppress the good and let the bad out, and then you can be funny.
How many stories do you know about people cooped up in places because of deep snowfall? How many stories where something good happens to those people?
I'm competitive, and I love to create challenges for myself. Maybe that's not always a good thing. It can make life complicated.
What I have said is that I think the federal government and we as a society have come too far in trying to separate good organizations that perform good functions for people just based on the fact one has a religious association and one doesn't.
Australian people are dope. They're so fun. They want to just have a good time, and they have a great sense of humour.
Of course, I want to look good, as that helped me get jobs. But it didn't get me the jobs I wanted and it held me back.
Those of us who are in the centre believe in opening up to the world, believe migration on balance is a good thing if it is managed properly, and believe that multilateralism is the best way to solve problems.
A good education is another name for happiness.
So far, Senate Republicans are good at getting Facebook likes and town halls and not much else. Do something.
If you think people are inherently good, you get rid of the police for 24 hours - see what happens.
I don't care whether the people believe me to be a prophet, seer, or revelator or not - I have been very profitable to this people, and I have seen a good many things, and I have revealed many things.
I think there should be a good balance between being a good student and being able to enjoy your high school life.
My stroller of choice is the Graco Classic. It's the '70s Buick of strollers, bulky with a complete absence of style. There are no good lines on the Graco. Yes, it has cup holders, like any self-respecting car or stroller does these days, but the luxuries stop there.
Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid.
My personal philosophy is that people should be extremely selfish for the first half of their life and extremely unselfish for the second half because then they can do the most good.
People online will tell you what they really think - there's no diplomacy. They're honest; it's good to have the feedback immediately.
Here I am sitting in the back of a cab with Catherine Zeta-Jones who is telling me Michael Douglas has fond memories of me - it just makes me feel good as a human being.
The beautiful thing about the game of golf is you can play good golf and compete well into your later years, and you can't do this in basketball or football or baseball. But in golf, it's a longer live sport.
