Remember: courage, unused, diminishes. Commitment, unexercised, wanes. Love, unshared, dissipates.

Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.

In the time of your life, live—so that in that good time there shall be no ugliness or death for yourself or for any life your life touches.

Servile, and base, and mercenary, is the notion of Christian practice among the bulk of nominal Christians. They give no more than they dare not with-hold; they abstain from nothing but what they must not practise.

In hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing even into my purer mind, With tranquil restoration:—feelings, too, Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps, As have no slight or trivial influence On that best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love....

That best portion of a good man's life,His little, nameless, unremembered actsOf kindness and of love.

Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do.

Love is not something you feel. It's something you do.

One kind deed is more beautiful than a thousand good intentions.

It is our care for the helpless, our practice of loving kindness, that brands us in the eyes of those who oppose us.

If we give someone a piece of bread and butter, that's kindness, but if we put jelly or peanut butter on it, then it's Loving Kindness.

Genuine kindness is not what we do, it is what we are.
