"A man who _is_ good does not go around _contriving_ to do

good. His own goodness does good, wherever he goes, though

few realize it. Being one with goodness, he has no separate

self-image of being a good man who can help the bad to be

good. He leaves such imaginary and ego-centered goodness

to the self-deceived. The bad man _thinks about_ goodness

with personal gain in mind, while the truly good man

impersonally _expresses_ goodness. Because a rose is

a rose, it never needs to think of itself as one."
