Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.

Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance.

If you go out looking for friends, you're going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.

When the norm is decency, other virtues can thrive: integrity, honesty, compassion, kindness, and trust.

God was very creative with plants and their seeds. But there's one kind of seed He wants you to spread: the seed of kindness. Being kind means more than just smiling and being nice. It takes courage to be kind to that kid everybody else picks on or that person who's different from you. And it takes strength to be kind when you're tired or when others aren't so kind to you. But when you plant a seed of kindness, it grows . . . and spreads!

It's never too late. We've come around to a better way of life with showing love and giving love. That's what matters.

You are good. But it is not enough just to be good. You must be good for something. You must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for your presence. And the good that is in you must be spread to others....

Don't be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. 'Accentuate the positive.' Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.

My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight...I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.

It is not enough just to be good. We must be good for something. We must contribute good to the world. The world must be a better place for our presence. And the good that is in us must be spread to others. This is the measure of our civility.

It is better to win souls than to conquer nations.
