Kindness too soon.. could be too late …
In life, you can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Theodore Rubin
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
William Wordsworth
The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person’s life.
Thomas Berry
If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
So many gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
While just the art of being kind
Is all the sad world needs.
Charity
The best portion of a good man’s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
William Wordsworth
Kindness
A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco.
“Mom and Dad, I’m coming home, but I’ve a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring home with me.”
“Sure,” they replied, “we’d love to meet him.” [...]
Sir James M. Barrie
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight - always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.
