Will High Running Temps "hurt" a Motor???

Hello all, for about a year, my 85 300D ran its coolant temp anywhere from the "80" on the guage to right below (or sometimes at) the hash mark above (I think its "100"). It would vary depending upon the day, the temp and my right foot... Well, I am pleased to say that I got my radiator flushed, and new thermostats installed... Now she runs right above the "80" and no matter what I do to her, she won't move above! Great, so I'm running cooler, but did I harm my engine running it hotter??? Was damage done/life reduced having a hotter running mill??? Thoughts/adivce is greatly appreciated.... Thanks!
