considerate

I wish everyone had someone who never popped their balloons.

We believe in an aristocracy... Not an aristocracy of power, based on rank or wealth, but an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate, and the plucky. Our members are found in all nations and classes, and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding between us when we meet... We represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory over cruelty and chaos. We're an invincible army, but not a victorious one. We've had different names throughout history, but all the words that describe us are false and all attempts to organize us fail. Right now we're called V.F.D., but all our schisms and arguments might cause us to disappear. It won't matter. People like us always slip through the net. Our true home is the imagination, and our kingdom is the wide-open world.

Love is a combination of virtues. The amount you receive from someone is based on the percentage of those virtues learned and applied. Unhappiness in a relationship is not a lack of love, but a lack of virtues in the percentages your significant other needs.

The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether __ood and acceptable and perfect._ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn__ see how wise it was when it didn__ seem kind_ Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.

God favors men and women who delight in being made worthy of happiness before the happiness itself.

Power without compassion is like a giant that blocks the sunlight.

Speaking a painful truth should be done only in love - like wielding a sword with no hilt - it should pain oneself in direct proportion to the amount of force exerted.

The only good husbands stay bachelors: They're too considerate to get married.

A slip of the foot may injure your body, but a slip of the tongue will injure your bond.

Prudence is precaution, prudence is protection.

Life sometimes reminds us that it is sometimes heartless by giving something or someone we really need to someone who does not need or even want them or it.

Be kind and considerate with your criticism... It's just as hard to write a bad book as it is to write a good book.

I find that being considerate of others and keeping what I say and what I do in agreement makes for a great night's sleep.

If the entire world sought to make itself worthy of happiness rather than make itself happy, then the entire world would be happy.
