Big words seldom accompany good deeds.
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Nothing ages more than a good deed.
Better a good conscience without wisdom than wisdom without a good conscience.

All things are becoming to good people.
A good friend is often better than a brother.
Money will buy you everything but good sense.
