Let us do good unto all men.—GAL. VI, 10.

I live for those that love me,

For those that love me true,

For the heaven that smiles above me,

And waits my coming, too.

For the cause that lacks assistance,

For the wrongs that need resistance,

For the future in the distance,

For the good that I can do.

DR. GUTHRIE.

Never did any soul do good but it became readier to do the same again, with more enjoyment. Never was love, or gratitude, or bounty practiced but with increasing joy, which made the practiser still more in love with the fair act.

SHAFTESBURY.

There is a sufficient recompense in the very consciousness of a noble deed.

CICERO.

We talk not great things, but we live them. We wear not wisdom in our garb, but we carry it in our minds.

M. MINUCIUS FELIX.

It is only great souls that know how much glory there is in being good.

SOPHOCLES.

Power to do good is the true and lawful end of aspiring. For good thoughts, though God accepts them, yet toward men they are little better than good dreams, except they be put in act, and that cannot be without power and place as the vantage ground.

LORD BACON.
