The basis of all good human behavior is kindness.

I prefer to make a mistake because I am too kind than to perform miracles without any kindness.

The merit of persons is to be no rule of our charity, but we are to do acts of kindness to those that least deserve it.

Small kindnesses often, unintentionally, produce the biggest payoffs.

A kindness is never wasted.

We are not here to enjoy the things on earth, but to pass them around. The people who do it are the happiest people you know!

You never know when one kind act, or one word of encouragement, can change a life forever.

Be ye kind one to another.

Kindness is the essence of greatness and the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known.
