Good Will Quotes - Page 5

• Solitude delighteth well to feed on many thoughts;
  There as thou sittest peaceful, communing with fancy,
  The precious poetry of life shall gild its leaden cares;
  There, as thou walkest by the sea beneath the gentle stars,
  Many kindling seeds of good will sprout within thy soul;
  Thou shalt weep in Solitude,--thou shalt pray in Solitude.
  Thou shalt sing for joy of heart, and praise the grace of Solitude.

  Martin Farquhar Tupper

• Good will is a power that can be used every day of the year and every hour of the day. It is instantly available. By continuously practicing good will we cultivate a deep subconscious habit of good will. It becomes a pattern of our response in all situations. Good will works as silently as the sun and with as much power. It thaws the ice and snow of resistance and indifference. It warms and wins human hearts. It draws forth the best in others as flowers are drawn from the soil. It stimulates growth.

• What is the cause that one is hardened, and another readily moved to compunction? Listen! It springs from the will, in the latter case a good will, in the former an evil one. It springs also from the thoughts, in the former case evil thoughts, in the latter from the opposite; and similarly from actions, in the former case actions contrary to God, in the latter godly ones... it is by free choice of the will that every person either attains compunction and humility, or else becomes hard-hearted and proud.
