If you were arrested for kindness, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
It’s been said that people almost always forget what you said, and they usually forget what you did, but they never forget how you made them feel. What do you bring in to a room when you enter it that will affect the way others feel? Is it uplifting cheerfulness, optimism, or kind words -- or do you bring pessimism, criticism, sarcasm or cynicism?
One of the kindest things we can do is make another person feel better. So I want to complete my trilogy on kindness by sharing with you some of my favorite quotations about this vital virtue.
"That best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love"-- William Wordsworth
"The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines". -- Charles Kuralt
"Kindness is loving people more than they deserve." -- Joseph Joubert
"We are made kind by being kind." -- Eric Hoffer
"My religion is kindness." -- The Dalai Lama
"Forget injuries; never forget kindness". -- Confucius
"Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment." -- Benjamin Franklin
"You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late". -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom"-- Theodore Isaac Rubin, M.D.
