Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.

Unless we are involved, the problem is not present.

Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out.

You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, not expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to confer benefits on a Lion.

If you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure.

I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!

There's some that constantly put monkeys on your back. It's their monkey, but somehow you end up carrying it. Often there are people who really care, but they constantly have problems and they want to share it with you and you're constantly trying to fix things for them. In truth, you're worried more about their problems than you do your own. Be weary of the monkeys.

In trying to be strong for them, I had cheated them out of opportunities to strengthen me. Guilt overwhelmed me, because I could-at last-see their gifts to me. The shame flowed all over me, and I began to cry. This is their ministry, I thought, and I've been spoiling it. I felt such intense shame over not letting them help.

The value of a life is always measured by how much of it is given away.

Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out.

Life is not a fist. Life is an open hand waiting for some other hand to enter it.

When you serve others, when you make somebody else's life better, when you lift up people, when you help heal those that are hurting, not only are they being blessed, but you're being blessed.
