QUOTES ON KINDNESS
"One great, strong, unselfish soul in every community could actually redeem the world."
"When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people."

“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.”
- Lao Tzu
"We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment but it is transient. It is a little parenthesis in eternity. If we share caring, lightheartedness, and love, we will create abundance and joy for each other. And then this moment will be worthwhile."
"When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel."
- Rabbi Harold Kushner
"Some of the shells that wash up on the beach were once very beautiful. We don't know what kind of journey they had to take to get them in their fragile condition. The same is true for people. Be kind.

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