Good

When good is near you, when you have life in yourself,--it is not by any known or appointed way; you shall not discern the footprints of any other; you shall not see the face of man; you shall not hear any name;--the way, the thought, the good, shall be wholly strange and new.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

Some say that the perfect is the enemy of the good, but I say the pragmatic is the enemy of the good.

good, better, the best

Good-and-plenty. Good-and-plenty. Good-and-plenty.

good lord! i'd forgotten my package on the office counter. my bosses ate bacon & gorgonzola every day because they could afford it, and i decided to try it for myself--sort of see what the reins of power and wealth felt like. eating this rich luxury food, i would know what it was to transform clients' brands and launch them via multiple media. i had gone out and brought back some bacon and gorgonzola for myself, then gone home and left the package at work. that girl several cubicles down from me would probably get in early and feed my taste of the good life to her dog.

»Evil« existed as a keyword before »good« was created. This seems to turn conventional mythology about good and evil upside down.
