Religion taught us to return good for evil.
Yet I also believe that when you do unto others, blessings come to you as well. So if you don't have a friend, be a friend. If you are having a bad day, make someone else's day. If your feelings are hurt, heal those of another.
I believe that love expands. As you give love out, it's received and reciprocated and it grows. That's the beauty of it.
I am good to people who are good. I am also good to people who are not good. Because Virtue is goodness.
I generally think if you do good things for people in the world, that comes back and you benefit from it over time.
The more you give away, the more you get back.
Don't pay back in kind, pay back in kindness. If someone does wrong by you, do right by them.
Scatter good will and love and prayers all around, everywhere, and you will be astonished, not only by what it does for other people, but how it comes back to you in generous abundance.
Do good to another man, even when they do not do you good; another will certainly do you good. if there is still shame and fear in one's heart to do good, there will certainly be no progress at all.
To love and to be loved, one must do good to others. The inevitable condition whereby to become blessed, is to bless others.
It is better to receive than to do injury.
I have something that I call my Golden Rule. It goes something like this: 'Do unto others twenty-five percent better than you expect them to do unto you.' … The twenty-five percent is for error.
When you understand spiritual law, then you realize that everything you give, good or bad, will in fact come back to you tenfold and that's just the way it is. You give someone flowers and the person you are ultimately giving to is yourself.
