STOP AND THINK – Being good is commendable; but only when it is combined with doing good is it useful.
(American author)

It’s like the old chicken and egg cliché: which came first? It is evident that doing good can come only from being good, an innate quality. But, of course, it is necessary that there is a combination of being and doing good if there is to be any benefit to others.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people. (Galatians 6:10)
