I feel this is quite a simplistic definition which isn't entirely accurate. Maurice Maeterlinck understood it better "An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it." As quoted in The New Dictionary of Thoughts: A Cyclopedia of Quotations (1960) by Tryon Edwards and C. N. Catrevas, p. 259. 84.92.100.78 19:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
