Typecasting is a good thing. It's good to be known for what you do.
Common goods, no goods.
I'm having a good time watching Shooter. He's a good kid. He's been a good son to me. He has never failed.
Give good and get good.
Good is good, but better beats it.
A bad man talks about what he has eaten and drunk -- a good man about what he has seen and heard.
Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook, and a good digestion.
There is a good life. The goodnews is that you can live that good life. The good life is the happy life. To live this good life, be happy! A truly happy man is a good man.
Feeling good about yourself is not the same thing as doing good. Good policy is more important than good feelings.
Good Person, Good Words and Good Action are independent, wisdom lies in recognizing each of this good irrespective of other one or two being not Good.
