What wisdom can you find that is greater than 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

The people turn to a benevolent rule as water flows downwards, and as wild beasts fly to the wilderness.

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

Let’s rise above this animalistic behavior and be kind to one another.

Those who would administer wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles in the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity.

Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

Great wisdom is generous, petty wisdom is contentious. Great speech is impassioned, small speech in cantankerous.

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.

I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
