"Far from idleness being the root of all evil, it is rather the only true good." ― Soren Kierkegaard Topic(s): Good More From Soren Kierkegaard "Because of its tremendous solemnity death is the light in which great passions, both good and bad, become transparent, no longer limited by outward appearences." "Our life always expresses the result of our dominant thoughts." "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." More In Good "You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own."― Mark Victor Hansen "I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value."― Hermann Hesse "To be a good loser is to learn how to win."― Carl Sandburg
