Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.
Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy.
By oneself the evil is done, and it is oneself who suffers: by oneself the evil is not done, and by one's Self one becomes pure. The pure and the impure come from oneself: no man can purify another.
Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.
If you meditate earnestly, pure in mind and kind in deeds, leading a disciplined life in harmony with the dharma, you will grow in glory. If you meditate earnestly, through spiritual disciplines you can make an island for yourself that no flood can overwhelm.
Train your eyes and ears; train your nose and tongue. The senses are good friends when they are trained. Train your body in deeds, train your tongue in words, train your mind in thoughts. This training will take you beyond sorrow.
As a calf follows its mother among a thousand cows, so the (good or bad) deeds of a man follow him.
The greatest good is what we do for others.
People's good deeds we write in water. The evil deeds are etched in brass.
Unnatural deeds do breed unnatural troubles.
How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.
A man is great by deeds, not by birth.
