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

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

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

Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.

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

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

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.
