Kindness Quotes
-
Kindness is not without its rocks ahead. People are apt to put it down to an easy temper and seldom recognize it as the secret striving of a generous nature; whilst, on the other hand, the ill-natured get credit for all the evil they refrain from.
Honore de Balzac
-
The pain others give passes away in their later kindness, but that of our own blunders, especially when they hurt our vanity, never passes away
William Butler Yeats
-
Let the man, who would be grateful, think of repaying a kindness, even while receiving it.
Seneca the Younger
-
Charity is no substitute for justice. If we never challenge a social order that allows some to accumulate wealth--even if they decide to help the less fortunate--while others are short-changed, then even acts of kindness end up supporting unjust arrangements. We must never ignore the injustices that make charity necessary, or the inequalities that make it possible.
Michael Eric Dyson
-
Don't ever underestimate the importance of treating others with respect and kindness.
Alison Levine
-
Every day, do something selfless for someone else that takes under five minutes. The essence of this thing you do should be that it makes a big difference to the person receiving the gift. Usually these favors take the form of an introduction, reference, feedback, or broadcast on social media. Do something that's not for yourself, every single day. Expect nothing in return. Over time, these random acts of kindness will really add up.
Adam Rifkin
-
People pay the doctor for his trouble; for his kindness they still remain in his debt.
Seneca the Younger
-
People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas
-
You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.
Dolly Parton
-
The sadness which reigned everywhere was but an excuse for unfailing kindness.
Victor Hugo
-
When I treat other people with kindness and love, it is part of my way of paying my debt to God and the world for the privilege of living on this planet.
Benjamin Carson
-
There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives--the pain, the loneliness. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them. ---Before you speak, it is necessary for you to listen, for God speaks in the silence of the heart. Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't only give your care, but give your heart as well.
Mother Teresa
