Out of all this struggle a good thing is going to grow. That makes it worthwhile.

And yet even from this — from evil — there will finally come good in some way; in some way that we may never understand or even see. … Perhaps evil is the crucible of goodness … And perhaps even Satan — Satan, in spite of himself — somehow serves to work out the will of God.

Can anything good come out of Nazareth?

You know, I have a philosophy there’s good that happens in everything. It may not reveal itself immediately, and even in the most dire circumstances, if you just wait, if you just remain open to things, the good in it will reveal itself. And that has happened to me as well in countless, countless ways.

Still. Maybe some good can come out of it.
I admire your psychotic optimism.

How can we expect something positive to come from all the negative that we put into this world?

I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when, But just saying it could even make it happen.

We keep looking for some good to come out of this. Maybe it might help in putting race relations back on the front burner after they’ve been subjugated so long as a result of the Reagan years.

I hope that something better comes along.

When you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening.

I suppose, to use our national motto, something will turn up.

They say everything in the world is good for something.

"Can any good come out of Nazareth?" This is always the question of the wiseacres and the knowing ones. But the good, the new, comes from exactly that quarter whence it is not looked for, and is always something different from what is expected. Everything new is received with contempt, for it begins in obscurity. It becomes a power unobserved.

What will come of these things? That is a fair question. Unfortunately there is no answer. Not yet. If we knew the answer in advance, we would not have to perform the experiment.
