More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

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.

You are forgiven for your happiness and your successes only if you generously consent to share them.

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

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

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

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.

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