Good Nature Quotes

“Kindness and good nature unite men more effectually and with greater strength than any agreements whatsoever, since thereby the engagements of men's hearts become stronger than the bond and obligation of words.”
― Sir Thomas More, Utopia

“Kindness is strength. Good-nature is often mistaken for virtue, and good health sometimes passes for genius. Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, every one should be serene, slow-pulsed, and calm. Intelligence is not the foundation of arrogance. Insolence is not logic. Epithets are the arguments of malice.”
― Robert Green Ingersoll , The Christian Religion: An Enquiry

“I am not, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, a good-natured man; that is, many things annoy me besides what interferes with my own ease and interest.

Therefore I have made many enemies and few friends; for the public know nothing of well-wishers, and keep a wary eye on those who would reform them.”
― William Hazlitt

“Do not suffer your good nature [...] to say yes when you ought to say no; remember that it is a public not a private cause that is to be injured or benefitted by your choice”
― George Washington

And to be a good fella
Invite a smile so wide
Nobody needs umbrella!”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic

“Wit penetrates; humor envelops. Wit is a function of verbal intelligence; humor is imagination operating on good nature.”
― Peggy Noonan

“in [...] gefährlichen Dingen [...] sind die Irrtümer, welche aus Gutmütigkeit entstehen, gerade die schlimmsten.”
― Carl von Clausewitz

“You may be broken many times, but giving chances to people doesn't mean you need support or can't live alone. It means you are a person with a forgiving heart.”
― Vikrant Adams
