For even in dreams a good deed is not lost.

Even a smile is a good deed.

A good action is never lost; it is a treasure laid up and guarded for the doer's need.

A good deed is a good deed.

What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion, a shadow, a story. And the greatest good is little enough; for all life is a dream, and dreams themselves are only dreams.

It is a good deed to forget a poor joke.
