“A good deed, "said the prophet Mohammed, "is one that brings a smile of joy to the face of another."Why will doing a good deed every day produce such astounding efforts on the doer?Because trying to please others will cause us to stop thinking of ourselves: the verything that produces worry and fear and melancholia.”
“Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.”
“Always do at least one good deed a day for someone other then yourself.”
“We are not saved by good deeds; we are saved for good deeds. Jesus transforms us to transform others.”
“If you want to call attention to your good deed then it isn't a good deed, it's a self-serving one. Why? Not only have you patted yourself on the back but you're fishing for others to do the same.”
“As for religious faith, a lack of it shouldn't stop us from doing good deeds for their own sake.”
