Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

A human being has a natural desire to have more of a good thing than they need.

I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

No duty is more urgent than giving thanks.

Be present in all things and thankful for all things.

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.

After all, the only proper intoxication is conversation.

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.

We still have a choice today: nonviolent coexistence or violent coannihilation. This may well be mankind's last chance between chaos and community.

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

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

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

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

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

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

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets.

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.

One drop of your kindness makes the ocean sweet.
