Zitat des Tages über Gute Tat / Good Deed:
No good deed goes unpunished.
Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds.
It is a good deed to forget a poor joke.
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Even a smile is a good deed.
Every day, nay every moment, try to do some good deed.
One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. When he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. When he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.

Good Deeds Day is based on a simple idea that every person can do a good deed for the benefit of others and the planet. Even a smile that brightens someone else's day is a good deed.

A good deed is a good deed.
No good deed goes unpunished. I missed the moon landing by being nice to a stranger.
