John Winthrop, Puritan leader and first Governor of Massachusetts, probably laid down the first American do-gooder's covenant when he told his flock: "We must love one another with a pure heart fervently, we must bear one another's burdens, we must look not only on our own things, but also on the things of our brethren."
