"📝happiness is a thing which a person wishes only for himself; goodness is a thing which a person wishes for himself and for others. Happiness can be achieved by struggle; goodness, on the contrary, by being 📝humble." ~ 📝Leo Tolstoy, 📝A Calendar of Wisdom

November 18

You cannot measure good by either the feeling of need or

sacrifice, but only by the communication with God which

is established between the giver and the receiver.

Life alone is not good. Goodness exists only in a proper, vir-

tuous life.

-LUCIUS ANNAEUS SENECA

It is not a virtue, but a kind of deceitful similitude, to ful-

fill our duty for the purpose of its reward.

-MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO

All people become closer, more or less, to one of two

opposite limits: one is life only for oneself, and the other

is life only for God.

I call this life a happy one in which I do one good deed

after another, with no intervals between them.

-MARCUS AURELIUS

We do good only when we do not notice what we do, when

we forget ourselves and live only in others.
