The honour of carrying the Canadian flag... brings with it a sense of duty, privilege, and above all, great pride.

Tessa Virtue

Man and his deed are two distinct things. Whereas a good deed should call forth approbation and a wicked deed dis-approbation, the doer of the deed, whether good or wicked always deserves respect or pity as the case may be. Hate the sin and not the sinner is a precept which though easy enough to understand is rarely practised, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads in the world.

Mahatma Gandhi

A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

Sidney Poitier

We must be devoted to sound principles in word and deed: principle above party, principle above pocketbook, principle above popularity.

Ezra Taft Benson

Know the joy of life by piling good deed on good deed until no rift or cranny appears between them.

Marcus Aurelius

Getting people to go above and beyond the call of duty can be achieved but only if you, the artist, are willing to go above and beyond any and all calls of duty yourself.

Tori Amos

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. I initiated Good Deeds Day to spread the message that everyone can give of themselves, according to their heart's desire.

Whatever our creed, we feel that no good deed can by any possibility go unrewarded, no evil deed unpunished.

Orison Swett Marden

What good deed can government do for religion? The best deed of all: leave it free and unencumbered, burdened by neither enmity nor amity.

Edwin Gaustad

The good deed you do today, for a brother or sister in need will come back to you some day, for humanity's a circle in deed.

Robert Alan Aurthur

Give a good deed the credit of a good motive; and give an evil deed the benefit of the doubt.

Brander Matthews

There is no nobler deed than the performance of one's duty.

Len Smith

Tell me,' asked Stas, 'what is a wicked deed?' 'If anyone takes away Kali's cow,' he answered after a brief reflection, 'that then is a wicked deed.' 'Excellent!' exclaimed Stas, 'and what is a good one?' This time the answer came without any reflection: 'If Kali takes away the cow of somebody else, that is a good deed.' Stas was too young to perceive that similar views of evil and good deeds were enunciated in Europe not only by politicians but by whole nations.

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Writing may be either the record of a deed or a deed. It is nobler when it is a deed.

Henry David Thoreau

We have a duty to show up in the world with meaning and purpose and commitment to doing good. And to use any privilege that we have to make positive change and to disrupt oppressive systems.
