Good acts do not make a good person. Plenty of billionaires have done good things, but they don't even come close to outweighing the bad.

A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.

True, and they generally get ample praise for the good. The bad has, unfortunately, rewarded them with their billions.
