Be inspired by the goodness in people and not their flaws.

Never judge a person how he died, but how he lived.

The goodness of a person is normally judged based upon how they act towards those whom they consider to be less fortunate than themselves. This has become the standard for measuring the goodness of a person. But this is erroneous. It is in fact very easy to be good to those whom you consider to be less fortunate than yourself. You know what's difficult? Being good to those you envy! That is what's difficult to do! People believe themselves to practice equality because they are good to those who are lesser than they are, but this is not equality if they do not show the same amount of goodness to the people who happen to be more than they are. I always look at how a person treats those who are more than they are, and that is how I determine the goodness in a person. Because the other option is just too easy. The other option comes with all benefit and no loss.

They say the distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success, I believe you can say the same thing about the distance between good and evil.

Others are not born bad or good... and neither are people, by the way.

Evil is not natural, nor is goodness. They are created and defined by people.
