Do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest.
Luke 6:35

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
I Corinthians 15:55

That man does not pay the severest penalty who does the most good.
– Mary Baker Eddy, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” p. 387

Love is true solace and giveth joy for sorrow, –
     O, in that light, all earthly loss is gain;
Joy must endure, Love’s giving is forever;
     Life is of God, whose radiance cannot wane.
– Maria Louise Baum, “Christian Science Hymnal,” No. 174, © CSBD
