He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Money is power, and you ought to be reasonably ambitious to have it. You ought because you can do more good with it than you could do without it. Money printed your Bible, money builds your churches, money sends your missionaries, and money pays your preachers, and you would not have many of them, either, if you did not pay them.
No one would have remembered the Good Samaritan if he’d only had good intentions. He had money as well.

I will spend my heaven doing good on earth.
The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.
Once I did bad and that I heard ever. Twice I did good, but that I heard never.
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.
practically nothing we do ever stands by itself. If it is good, it will serve some good purpose in the future. If it is evil, it may haunt us and handicap our efforts in unimagined ways.

Kindness comes back like a boomerang to those who are kind. Perhaps, its return takes years. Perhaps, the kindness returns from a different direction than that which we sent out kindness. But it will return. It is never lost.
With mere good intentions hell is proverbially paved.
Heaven gives long life to the just and the intelligent.
