kindness

THWOTH;

There is really only one commandment - be kinder.

(You can read what others have had to say on the subject if you like:) >>>

Henry James:

Three things in human life are important.

The first is to be kind.
The second is to be kind.
The third is to be kind.

>>>

Lao-Tse:

Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profundity.
Kindness in giving creates love.

>>>

Theodore Rubin:

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.

>>>

Abraham Joshua Heschel:

When I was young, I used to admire intelligent people; as I grow older, I admire kind people.

>>>

Eric Hoffer:

Kindness can become its own motive - we are made kind by being kind.

>>>

Frederick W. Faber:

Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence or learning.

>>>

His Holiness the Dalai Lama:

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

>>>

His Holiness the Dalai Lama:

Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

>>>

Goethe:

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together.

>>>

Philo:

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

>>>

Ralph Waldo Emerson:

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

>>>

Samuel Johnson:

Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.

>>>

Talmud:

Deeds of kindness are equal in weight to all the commandments.

>>>

William Wordsworth:

The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life.

>>>

Scott Adams:

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

>>>

Willa Cather:

When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason had left them. When it has left a place where we have always found it, it is like shipwreck; we drop from security into something malevolent and bottomless.
