kindness

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal; and though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part, and prophesy in part.But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Arrange your life in such a way that you don't make choices based on fear of God, instead of love of God.

Good deeds awaken the good spirit of every soul.

I wish the hearts of human beings pumped with kind desires.I wish every gaze landed on the eyes of others compassionately.I wish hatred, envy, and vengeance were alien concepts to humankind.I wish the precious worth of every soul was universally understood.

Happiness is an inner perception. It comes from simplicity, kindness, love, and compassion.

It is unfortunate that for some, kindness is an unwarranted expenditure, compassion an avoidable weakness, and love an unnecessary gamble.

A best friend is the one person that doesn't leave you worse off by their actions or yours.

Being kind, being compassionate, being respectful does not make you weak. More often, it's the harder path to take.

Those moral laws on which all human excellence is founded__ love of truth in ourselves, and a sincere sympathy with our fellow-creatures.

Sympathy is imagining the pain. Empathy is having suffered through it first.

Despite the fact that we cannot be absolutely altruistic in our behavior, we can still build our character to be loving and compassionate _ to empathize with others.

No amount of money can fill your heart up with what kindness and compassion can.

The day you find out who you are is when you look back and realize that it was never the words, rather your actions that defined you.

See life and feel its pulses with the eyes of a compassionate mother.

The greatest lesson you might ever learn in this life is this: It is not about you.

We can bring heaven on the earth when we have compassion for all living beings.

Truly listening, attentively, and with care, is one of the simplest and most kind gifts we can give anyone.

Kindness is going out of your way to perform favors regarded as wonderful by the recipient.
