Abraham Lincoln

When I do good, I feel good. - Abraham Lincoln
When I do bad, I feel bad.

What I feel when I hear this is honesty. This quote reveals that your actions effect not only other people but yourself to. You hurt other people when you do something bad, if you do something good, you and other people feel good. For example, if you decide to help your mother with the laundry because she asked you, and you fold it and place it neatly where it goes, you feel good. Just think of how your mother would feel when she see's that you folded the laundry and you placed it where it belonged. She didn't ask you to place it where it belonged, but you did it because you were being generous, you were thinking about how much your mom has done for you. You think about what little you have done to deserve what your mom gives you. On the other hand, if you do bad, like disobey your mother, and she comes home realizing that you did not do what she asked, she would be mad. She would be stressed from what she had previously done, and then she would have to do it on her own. You would watch her see her be stressed and then the feeling of guilt comes along. You regret not helping your mother and you know that it was a bad choice not to help her but you did it anyways.
