#kindness

All cruelty springs from weakness.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Whom do you call bad? Him who always wants to put to shame.

What if I should discover that I myself stand in need of the alms of my own kindness—that I myself am the enemy who must be loved?

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.

The highest philosophy is found in everyday kindness.

To give pleasure to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

Speak only when your words are a balm.

Kindness is the universal language of the heart.

Let kindness be your signature upon every path you walk.

If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.

Dwell in kindness as your eternal dwelling place.

Kindness is the light that dissolves all walls between souls, families, and nations.

Let kindness be the atmosphere you create wherever you go.

Kindness is the divine perfume of a generous heart.

Speak such words that will bring peace to your own heart and fill others with serene joy.

There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.

Let your words be like sweet water to those parched in the desert of despair.

Speak the truth, speak what is pleasing, but never speak an untruth to please, nor a harsh truth out of malice.

A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses.

Give a warm hearth and dry clothes to the weary traveler; winter is cold for everyone.

What do we live for, if not to make life less difficult for each other?

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
