The influence of good deeds usually extends far beyond the limits we can see or trace; but as well not have the power to do them as not use it.
How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world. Heaven doth with us as we with torches do; Not light them for themselves; for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not.
