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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

One love, one heart, one destiny.

As the traveler who has once been from home is wiser than he who has never left his own doorstep, so a knowledge of one other culture should sharpen our ability to scrutinize more steadily, to appreciate more lovingly, our own.

Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills.

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

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

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

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

Accept things to which fate binds you, love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
