Quote by Thomas Fuller

A man is not good or bad for one action.

A man is not good or bad for one action.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that a person's character cannot be defined solely based on a single action they have done. It suggests that human behavior is complex and multifaceted, and judging someone's overall moral worth based on one isolated incident would be unfair. Instead, it encourages a more comprehensive understanding of individuals, considering the sum total of their thoughts, actions, and intentions over time to fully assess their goodness or badness.
