The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.

Every heart sings a song incomplete, until another heart whispers back.

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

Intelligent people tend to have less friends than the average person. The smarter you are, the more selective you become.

A kind word is like a spring day.

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

Every heart that has beat strong and cheerfully has left a hopeful impulse behind it in the world, and bettered the tradition of mankind.

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.

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.

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

The greatest kindness one can render to any man is leading him to truth.

If you develop a pure and sincere motivation, in you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion, and respect, then you can carry on any kind of work, in any field, and function more effectively.

No human creature can give orders to love.

There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

Think enthusiastically about everything; but especially about your job. If you do, you'll put a torch of glory in your life. If you love your job with enthusiasm, you'll shake it to pieces. You'll love it into greatness, you'll upgrade it, you'll fill it with prestige and power.

Love means to love that which is unloveable. Otherwise it is no virtue at all.

Master of human destinies am I! Fame, love, and fortune on my footsteps wait.

The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

The longer I live, the more deeply l learn that love - whether we call it friendship or family or romance is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other's light.

Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.

We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.
