kindness

(I)f we are going to be kind, let it be out of simple generosity, not because we fear guilt or retribution.

Thousands of years ago, man lived in harmony with the rest of the natural world. Through what we would today call Telepathy, he communicated with animals, plants, and other forms of life-none of which he considered "beneath" himself, only different, with different jobs to perform. He worked side by side with earth angels and nature spirits, with whom he shared responsibility for taking care of the world.

All I'm saying is, kindness don't have no boundaries.

We're all born with selfish desires, so we can all relate to those feelings in others. But kindness is something made individually by each person...so it's easy to misunderstand when others are trying to be kind to you.

When we treat people merely as they are, they will remain as they are. When we treat them as if they were what they should be, they will become what they should be.

Always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.

Every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone's day.

Be kind, because everyone is having a really hard time.

For it is in giving that we receive.

But remember, boy, that a kind act can sometimes be as powerful as a sword. As a mortal, I was never a great fighter or athlete or poet. I only made wine. The people in my village laughed at me. They said I would never amount to anything. Look at me now. Sometimes small things can become very large indeed.

Moments of kindness and reconciliation are worth having, even if the parting has to come sooner or later.

Treat other people's home as you want them to respect yours because what goes around comes around.

Be kind. Always if you have a choice, be kind.

I have wept in the nightAt my shortness of sightThat to others' needs made me blind,But I never have yetHad a twinge of regretFor being a little too kind.

But she was not even grateful to him for it; nothing good on Pierre's part seemed to her to be an effort, it seemed so natural for him to be kind to everyone that there was no merit in his kindness.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.-Dalai Lama

Nothing carries more potential for change than individual acts of human kindness.
