Quote by Mark Twain

Be good and you will be lonely

Be good and you will be lonely

Summary

This quote suggests that when a person is genuinely good and strives to always act with integrity, they may find themselves feeling lonely or isolated. It implies that in a world where selfishness and unethical behavior often prevail, those who choose to do what is right may be ostracized or face difficulties in forming connections with others. This can be seen as a reminder that integrity comes with a price, and the path of righteousness may be a lonely one.
