"No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks." ― Mary Wollstonecraft Topic(s): Good More From Mary Wollstonecraft "Women are degraded by the propensity to enjoy the present moment, and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain." "Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings; a round of little cares, or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs, they become naturally only objects of sense." "I do earnestly wish to see the distinction of sex confounded in society, unless where love animates the behaviour." More In Good "An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather."― Washington Irving "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."― Nelson Mandela "The good of the people is the greatest law."― Marcus Tullius Cicero
