A kind word is like a spring day.

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

Kindly words do not enter so deeply into men as a reputation for kindness.

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

My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.

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.

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

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.
