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

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

I've learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.

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

A kind word is like a spring day.

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.

Listen with ears of tolerance, see through the eyes of compassion, speak with language of love.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

Love is never wasted, for its value does not rest upon reciprocity.

Every moment is made glorious by the light of love.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
