“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” — Aesop “Living the truth in your heart without compromise brings kindness into the world. Attempts at kindness that compromise your heart cause only sadness.” “Goodness is achieved not in a vacuum, but in the company of other men, attended by love.” “”Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” “Can I see another’s woe, and not be in sorrow too? “Kindness is a language which the dumb can speak, the deaf can understand.” “Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.” “Fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds.” “Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on; ‘Twas not given for thee alone, Pass it on; Let it travel down the years, Let it wipe another’s tears. “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.” “Choose being kind over being right and you’ll be right every time.” “Little deeds of kindness, little words of love, help to make earth happy like the heaven above.” “The creed of a true saint is to make the best of life, and to make the most of it.” “They’re only truly great who are truly good.” “Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable.” “What you do not want others to do to you, do not do to others.” “A disciple having asked for a definition of charity, the Master said LOVE ONE ANOTHER.” “Forget injuries; never forget kindness.” “Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.” “If I can stop one heart from breaking, “It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” “Complete possession is proved only by giving. All you are unable to give possesses you.” “If we make our goal to live a life of compassion and unconditional love, then the world will indeed become a garden where all kinds of flowers can bloom and grow.” “It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope.” “Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.” “What really matters is what you do with what you have.” “In the long run, the power of kindness can redeem beyond the power of force to destroy. There is a vast reservoir of kindness that we can no longer afford do disregard.” “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” “It is not from reason that justice springs, but goodness is born of wisdom.” “There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.” “Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig.” “Adapt yourself to the environment in which your lot has been cast, and show true love to the fellow-mortals with whom destiny has surrounded you.” “Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow; make yourself good while life and power are still yours.” “Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one!” “We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life.” “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” “In faith and hope the world will disagree, But all mankind’s concern is charity.” “Live as if everything you do will eventually be known.” “It is his nature, not his standing, that makes the good man.” “At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” “Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.” “Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” “Those who love not their fellow-beings live unfruitful lives, and prepare for their old age a miserable grave.” “Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself.” “You have not lived a perfect day…unless you have done something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” “One who knows how to show and to accept kindness will be a friend better than any possession.” “Kindness gives birth to kindness.” “Kindness it is that brings forth kindness always.” “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.” “You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot do by force.” |
