Quotations for disinterested

Doing good,
Disinterested good, is not our trade. [ Cowper ]

Friendship is a disinterested commerce between equals. [ Goldsmith ]

Interest speaks all sorts of tongues, and plays all sorts of parts, even the part of the disinterested. [ La Roche ]

The soul is a temple; and God is silently building it by night and by day. Precious thoughts are building it; disinterested love is building it; all-penetrating faith is building it. [ Henry Ward Beecher ]

Out of the ashes of misanthropy benevolence rises again; we find many virtues where we had imagined all was vice, many acts of disinterested friendship where we had fancied all was calculation and fraud - and so gradually from the two extremes we pass to the proper medium; and, feeling that no human being is wholly good or wholly base, we learn that true knowledge of mankind which induces us to expect little and forgive much. The world cures alike the optimist and the misanthrope. [ Edward Bulwer-Lytton ]
