All that a person leaves behind are their deeds.

Good deeds are better than good creeds.

We may not be responsible for our thoughts but we are for our deeds.

Good deeds remain good deeds, no matter what the motive.

A good deed seldom goes unpunished.

What you do to others, you do to yourself.

To think evil is much the same as doing it.

The first blow is half the battle.

Most things are easy if done willingly.

We do more things through habit than we do through reason.

It takes more than a gold braid to make a captain.

A hero is no braver than an ordinary person but braver for just a little longer.

Energy creates energy.

No-one wins who doesn't fight.

The way we give is more important than the gift itself.

Try to live as if this was your last day.

No-one is useless who lightens the burden of another.

What do you expect from a pig but a grunt?

Better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years of a sheep.

An insincere kiss is worse than an honest blow.

Don't make two sorrows out of one.

One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.

Wise men talk while fools sleep.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for the good to do nothing.

It's not your looks but your deeds that make you human.

Doing good is also a form of vanity.

Everything we do is done with an eye to something else.

The only person who doesn't make a mistake is the person who does nothing.

We are disliked as much for the good we do as for the harm we do.
