For every lovethere is a heart somewhereto receive it.

One act of beneficence,
one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentimentin the world.
- Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764

All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.
- James Russell Lowell (1819 - 1891)
