He often said he was just selfish, wanting everyone to like him, and that's what she had thought for a long while herself. But compared with others, including herself, he was, even with that motive in mind, the most caring and compassionate person she knew.
Jasmine blinked back tears. Damn it, why did Kara Zor-El have to be so good? Why did she have to be so kind, so damnably noble?
"That was a very nice thing you did for her, Chuck. Stupid, but very nice."
— Peppermint Patty, Everybody's Gotta Leave Sometime
"Why were all of her actions so nice? I had no issue with people who were naturally nice, but Kara took it to an extreme, she didn't seem to have a mean bone in her body."

Literature
Now, even though he is the Hero of this Tale, Prince Abu Ali had his Faults, Gentle Reader; and it is my painful duty to Enumerate them.
He was extremely good looking. He always saw the cheerful side of everything.
He was too amiable; too good-natured; too kindly; too honest, and too fair-minded.
He was too considerate of other people's feelings.
He laughed too easily, and he was much too sympathetic.
He was deeply fond of both his Parents.
He was never lazy, impudent, or ill-mannered.
He had never raised his voice in foolish rage, or told tales against his friends.
He was, in fact, quite hopeless. Nobody in the Court could foresee a Brilliant Future for him. They were sure he'd make a Highly Unsuccessful Emperor. They doubted whether he would even be able to make a Good Marriage; because any real Princess was bound to find him dull and boring, and therefore, Far Beneath Her.

In one particular the novels of the White Neck-cloth School are meritoriously realistic — their favourite hero, the Evangelical young curate is always rather an insipid personage.

"He is not a hero, not a man that is widely talked about, not a man who should be toasted at public dinners, not a man who should be spoken of with conventional absurdity as 'the perfect divine'. He's simply a good man, without guile, believing humbly in the religion he has striven to teach, and guided by the precepts he has striven to learn. My friends, I give you our Mr. Harding."
— Archdeacon Grantly, The Barchester Chronicles, "The Warden"
"As I’ve said before, every Doctor is in part a reaction against his predecessor. And so Davison’s Doctor is defined first and foremost by his comparative lack of dominating presence. One is tempted — doubly so because this story is overtly an Agatha Christie story — to cite Raymond Chandler’s description of the detective in The Simple Art of Murder, specifically the bit about 'But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean…' That is very much where Davison’s Doctor is pitched. He is not a world-saving hero so much as a good man in a not very good universe who nevertheless loves the universe and wants to explore it."

Somebody told me,
"Don't wear your heart on your sleeve,
because one day,
they all will leave."
What really matters is inside,
no one ever gives it to the nice guy,
the nice guy.

"How dare you talk about Flanders like that! He's a wonderful, kind, caring man, maybe even more so than me. There have been times where I lost patience with him — even lashed out at him! But this man has turned every cheek on his body. If everyone here were like Ned Flanders, there'd be no need for Heaven! We'd already be there."
— Homer Simpson, The Simpsons
Wake up with the morning sun // 'cause I got some work to do
The perfect day has just begun // when I make your dreams come true
You're gonna find that life's worth living // When you get all the joy that comes from giving
And you're feelin' the love
feeling the love
feeling the love
I'm feeling love
There's no use in bein' sad // when I can send your spirit soarin'
I'll give you what you never had // and I get all your love outpouring
What if the world just helped each other // We'd be sharing our hearts with one another
And be feelin' the love
Feeling the love, I'm feeling love!

"He's the only character that can't be finished off, and if he loses, he gets right back up and congratulates the winner. And that is so Jackie Chan: to get right back up after a beat-down and then give a thumbs-up."
— The Angry Video Game Nerd on Jackie Chain in Fists of Fire (Mortal Kombat Rip-Offs)
"In a most non-non-non odious move, Keanu Reeves waited outside in a totally incommodious drencher for 20 minutes before being allowed entrance into the Daughter Of God wrap party. Yeah, dude — the very same celebration at which he most excellently found a stranger's credit card… The owner of the most resplendent club at which the soirée took place spoke to the gossip dudes as well, saying, "I didn't know he was kept waiting, and he didn't say anything to me." He added, non-heinously, "He's a very relaxed person. A totally outstanding example of a supremely stellar dude, emphasizing once again that most harmonious phrase: Be excellent to each other."
