How far that little candle throws its beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

A kind word is like a spring day.

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

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

It makes one feel rather good deciding not to be a bitch. . . .It’s sort of what we have instead of God.

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.

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

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.

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.
