I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed is a step toward God-- Lifting the soul from the common clod To a purer air and a broader view.
A noble deed is a step toward God.
A noble deed is a step towards heaven.
The hardest thing is to forgive, but God does, even if you murdered or robbed, ya it's wrong, but God loves, take one step toward him he'll take two toward you, even when all else fails, God'll support you
When a noble deed is done, who is likely to appreciate it? They who are noble themselves.

Where'er a noble deed is wrought, Where'er is spoken a noble thought, Our hearts in glad surprise To higher levels rise.

Not everything that counts can be counted. You can count sales. You can count fans and followers. You can count pins and tweets. But you can't count passion. You can't count commitment. You can't count engagement. You can't count relationships.
imagining anything is the first step toward creating it. Believing in a true self is what allows a true self to be born.
Count the deed, not the thought.
Inventing your dream is the first and biggest step toward making it come true.
The first step in spiritual life is to have compassion. A person who is kind and loving never needs to go searching for God. God rushes toward any heart that beats with compassion-it is God's favorite place.
The task of history is to hold out for reprobation every evil word and deed, and to hold out for praise every great and noble word and deed.
