Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps the singing bird will come.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

A kind word is like a spring day.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

Benevolence is man’s mind, and righteousness is man’s path.

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

One drop of your kindness makes the ocean sweet.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.

To be able to practice five things everywhere under the heaven constitutes perfect virtue. . . gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It’s very simple.

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.

A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.
