The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.
Charles Lamb
2.
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
Benjamin Franklin
4.
A good deed done to an animal is as meritorious as a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is a bad as an act of cruelty to a human being.
Muhammad

... only the good deed done for Christ's sake brings us the fruits of the Holy Spirit. All that is not done for Christ's sake, even though it be good, brings neither reward in the future life nor the grace of God in this life. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ said: 'He who gathers not with Me scatters' (Lk. 11:23).
Seraphim of Sarov
6.
Allow not sleep to close your eyes before three times reflecting on Your actions of the day. What deeds Done well, what not, what left undone?
Pythagoras
7.
No good act performed in the world ever dies. Science tells us that no atom of matter can ever be destroyed, that no force once started ever ends; it merely passes through a multiplicity of ever-changing phases. Every good deed done to others is a great force that starts an unending pulsation through time and eternity. We may not know it, we may never hear a word of gratitude or recognition, but it will all come back to us in some form as naturally, as perfectly, as inevitably, . . . as echo answers to sound.
William George Jordan

Doing Good is a simple and universal vision. A vision to which each and every one of us can connect and contribute to its realisation. A vision based on the belief that by doing good deeds, positive thinking and affirmative choice of words, feelings and actions, we can enhance goodness in the world.
Shari Arison

I do not forget any good deed done to me & I do not carry a grudge for a bad one.
Viktor E. Frankl
10.
For there are many great deeds done in the small struggles of life.
Victor Hugo
11.
It is easy to understand that the best deed is well done: and so well as the best deed is done - the highest - so well is the least deed done; and all thing in its property and in the order that our Lord hath ordained it to from without beginning. For there is no doer but He.
Julian of Norwich
12.
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
Leonard Cohen
13.
To be doing good deeds is man's most glorious task.
Sophocles
15.
So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.
Lucretius
18.
Fail I alone, in words and deeds? Why, all men strive and who succeeds?
Robert Browning
19.
Western history has been a history of deed done, actions performed and results achieved.
Arthur Erickson
20.
He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.
Horace
21.
The human measure of a human life is its income; the divine measure of a life is its outgo, its overflow its contribution to the welfare of all.... If every word spoken in behalf of truth has its influence and every deed done for the right weighs in the final account, it is immaterial to the Christian whether his eyes behold victory or whether he dies in the midst of conflict.
William Jennings Bryan
22.
Man should be judged by the deeds done to help his fellow man.
Ted Turner
23.
I look upon the giving away of a religious tract as only the first step for action not to be compared with many another deed done for Christ; but were it not for the first step we might never reach to the second, but that first attained, we are encouraged to take another, and so at the last There is a real service of Christ in the distribution of the gospel in its printed form, a service the result of which heaven alone shall disclose, and the judgment day alone discover. How many thousands have been carried to heaven instrumentally upon the wings of these tracts, none can tell
Charles Spurgeon
24.
I have changed my definition of tragedy. I now think tragedy is not foul deeds done to a person (usually noble in some manner) but rather that tragedy is irresolvable conflict.
Rita Mae Brown
25.
God inducts us into the eternal kind of life that flows through himself. He does this first by bringing that life to bear upon our needs, and then by diffusing it throughout our deeds - deeds done with expectation that he and his Father will act with and in our actions.
Dallas Willard
26.
Count that day lost whose descending sun finds you with no good deeds done.
Napoleon Hill
