kindness

So at the end of the day, here was what Mike was able to believe in: people.It was people and their kindness the made him feel blessed. It was people who were the heroes, and people who were generous, and people who comforted one another.

...it took me a lifetime of glimpses, but now I see you completely - did I tell you you're beautiful? so kind to animals, children and me...

Never underestimate the distance that one simple act of kindness can carry you.

Charity felt rather snoozy after the long sermon, and she was really very grateful when Reverend Meeps offered her a cup of tea. Church was not so bad when the minister remembered you were only human.

Irena Sendler never thought of herself as a hero. She only did what she felt she must, and wished she could have done more.

The most genuine acts of kindness are done without fanfare and when no one is looking.

A mistake made by many people with great convictions is that they will let nothing stand in the way of their views, not even kindness.

She also keeps talking about the Billie Holiday record she bought for me. And she says she wants to expose me to all these great things. And to tell you the truth, I don't really want to be exposed to all these great things if it means that I'll have to listen to Mary Elizabeth talk about all the great things she exposed me to all the time. It almost feels like of the three things involved: Mary Elizabeth, me, and the great things, only the first one matters to Mary Elizabeth. I don't understand that. I would give someone a record so they could love the record, not so they would always know that I gave it to them.

Money is but one venue for generosity.Kindness is an even more valuable currency.

We must each achieve greater individual consciousness and self-knowledge, and project mindful kindness toward everything and everyone.

Kindness is for all times in all situations - not just when it suits you.

The common mistake that bullies make is assuming that because someone is nice that he or she is weak. Those traits have nothing to do with each other. In fact, it takes considerable strength and character to be a good person.

In music, in the sea, in a flower, in a leaf, in an act of kindness... I see what people call God in all these things.

Kindness in your dealings with yourself and others will work wonders in your life. Much more so than rightness in your thinking.

Don't play with others, or at one day, you will be played by others.

Speaking kind words starts a wave of love in motion that brings more love upon your shores.

Your joy can be the impetus that motivates others to find their way to joy.

You will find two kinds of people in the world. Some say that there are the bad and the good. But it isn__ like that. Since what is good for one may be bad for another. No, that doesn__ work. You have to depend on your intuition.__here are those who make you feel inside as if you are drinking a good, warm soup _ even if you are hungry and the two of you have nothing to eat. In spite of that they nourish you.__nd then there are those who cause you to freeze inside, even if you are sitting before a roaring fire and have eaten your fill. Those you should keep away from. They are not good for you, even though others might say that they are good people_
