Choose being kind over being right,
and you'll be right every time.
?Richard Carlson
That best portion of a good man's
life, His little, nameless, unremembered
acts of kindness and of love.
?William Wordsworth
He who confers a favor should at once forget it,
if he is not to show a sordid ungenerous spirit.
To remind a man of a kindness conferred and to
talk of it, is little different from reproach.
?Demosthenes
Guard well within yourself that treasure,
kindness. Know how to give without
hesitation, how to lose without regret,
how to acquire without meanness.
?George Sand
Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
?Confucius
Just because an animal is large,
it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness;
however big Tigger seems to be, remember
that he wants as much kindness as Roo.
?A A Milne
A friend is one to whom you can pour out the
contents of your heart, chaff and grain alike.
Knowing that the gentlest of hands will take
and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with
a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
?Anonymous
Remember there's no such thing as
a small act of kindness. Every act
creates a ripple with no logical end.
?Scott Adams
I have learnt silence from the talkative,
toleration from the intolerant, and
kindness from the unkind; yet strange,
I am ungrateful to these teachers.
?Kahlil Gibran
This is my simple religion. There
is no need for temples; no need
for complicated philosophy. Our own
brain, our own heart is our temple;
the philosophy is kindness.
?Dalai Lama
We cannot seek or attain health,
wealth, learning, justice or kindness
in general. Action is always specific,
concrete, individualized, unique.
?John Dewey
It is one of the beautiful compensations
of life that no man can sincerely try to be
kind to another, without helping himself.
?Bailey
The drying up a single tear has more of
honest fame than shedding seas of gore.
?Lord Byron
What do we live for if it is not to make
life less difficult to each other.
?George Eliot
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of
weakness and despair, but manifestations
of strength and resolutions.
?Kahlil Gibran
Wise sayings often fall on barren ground;
but a kind word is never thrown away.
?Sir Arthur Helps
One can pay back the loan of gold, but one
dies forever in debt to those who are kind.
?Malayan Proberb
My feeling is that there is nothing in life
but refraining from hurting others,
and comforting those who are sad.
?Olive Schreiner
Friendship is a living thing that lasts only
as long as it is nourished with kindness,
empathy and understanding.
?Anonymous
Constant kindness can accomplish
much. As the sun makes ice melt,
kindness causes misunderstanding,
mistrust and hostility to evaporate.
?Albert Schweitzer
Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
?William Shakespeare
Today we are afraid of simple words like
goodness and mercy and kindness. We don't
believe in the good old words because we
don't believe in good old values anymore.
And that's why the world is sick.
?Lin Yutang
To be able under all circumstances to
practice five things constitutes perfect
virtue; these five things are gravity, generosity of
soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.
?Confucius
Knowledge, without common sense," says Lee, is
"folly; without method, it is waste;
without kindness, it is fanaticism;
without religion, it is death."
But with common sense, it is wisdom
with method, it is power;
with clarity, it is beneficence;
with religion, it is virtue, and life, and peace.
?Austin Farrar
I believe in courtesy, in kindness, in generosity,
in good cheer, in friendship and in honest competition.
I believe there is something doing somewhere,
for every man ready to do it.
I believe I'm ready, RIGHT NOW.
?Elbert Hubbard
