Too often we underestimate the power of a touch,
a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of
caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever
wasted. A part of kindness consists in loving people more than
they deserve.
Never
lose a chance of saying a kind word. A kind speech and forgiveness is better than alms
followed by injury. Kind words conquer. Kindness is tenderness. Kindness is love, but perhaps
greater than love...Kindness is good will. Kindness says, "I want you to be happy. What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do
good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do
them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we
think, say, want and do. Wherever there is a human being, there is an
opportunity for kindness.
It is never too late to be what we might have been Before we can forgive one another, we must understand one another
How far you go in life depends on your being tender
with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of
the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. Kindness is a language which the dumb can speak, the
deaf can understand. My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness. Be the change you want to see in
the world Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for
others?’
