Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Amelia Earhart
While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.
Mattie Stepanek
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.
Maimonides

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
