kindness

Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

A smile remains the most inexpensive gift I can bestow on anyone and yet its powers can vanquish kingdoms.

Sometimes those who give the most are the ones with the least to spare.

I drop kindness pebbles in still water everyday, and I watch the effect they have on other people__ lives.My favorite kindness pebbles are compliments.Drop a compliment and watch the ripple affect that it has in your life.

And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him.

Each smallest act of kindness, reverberates across great distances and spans of time --affecting lives unknown to the one who__ generous spirit, was the source of this good echo. Because kindness is passed on and grows each time it__ passed until a simple courtesy becomes an act of selfless courage, years later, and far away. Likewise, each small meanness, each expression of hatred, each act of evil.

To belittle, you have to be little.

The happiest people I have known have been those who gave themselves no concern about their own souls, but did their uttermost to mitigate the miseries of others.

Capable, generous men do not create victims, they nurture victims.

There is nothing so rewarding as to make people realize that they are worthwhile in this world.

...treat people with understanding when you can, and fake it when you can'tuntil you do understand.

Give until it hurts.

A random act of kindness, no matter how small, can make a tremendous impact on someone else's life.

I wish stories were kinder to their characters," Maddie said. "But I guess trouble is more interesting to read about.

If we have the opportunity to be generous with our hearts, ourselves, we have no idea of the depth and breadth of love's reach.

Withhold a smile only when the smile can hurt someone. Otherwise, let it bloom forth in a riot.
