This is a list of some of the best things ever said about being kind, the crowning jewel of one's life.
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
- Mahatma Gandhi
Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
– Lao-tzu
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
– Plato
FORGET INJURIES, NEVER FORGET KINDNESSES.
- Confucius
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
- Anon
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
- Albert Einstein
Do a good deed everyday.
- An old saying
Being kind is it's own reward.
- Anon.
Avoid gossiping/spreading rumors about other people.
If someone is upset, help them.
Be kind, educate.
Each person that has ever lived has had the same problem. They wanted to be remembered by everyone for what they were. To be forgotten is worse than death. People wanted to be remembered by other things than books and stories. But in the end that’s all we can be remembered by. There’s nothing you can do at this points but live. But when I'm to die I want to be remembered by one thing. I want people to say “He was the type of person that believed and saw the good in others even when they couldn’t believe or see it in themselves.” That is how I want to be remembered.
- John M. Ludwig
Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism.
- Hubert H Humphrey
No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.
- Don Swartz
It is the weak who are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
- Leo Rosten
Make your heart like a lake, with calm, still surface, and great depths of kindness.
- Lao Tzu
GOD DAMN IT YOU GOT TO BE KIND.
- A Sign in Kurt Vonnegut's study
