[Treat] unenlightened souls with sympathy and indulgence, remembering that they are ignorant or mistaken about what’s most important. Never be harsh, remember Plato’s dictum: ‘Every soul is deprived of the truth against its will.’

What is divine deserves our affection because it is good; what is human deserves our affection because it is like us.

Consider if you have behaved to all in such a way that this way be said of you: Never has he wronged a man in deed or word.

Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give him one of yours. ~

“Go out of your way to do something nice today—open a door, leave a good tip, or share a beautiful smile with someone who crosses your path. Trust that God will speak to them through your kindness.” 

“Forgive as often as you must and don’t put limits on it.” 

“She treated him with the casual kindness usually reserved for other people's pets.” 

“The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks.” 

Be kind and merciful. Let no one ever come to you without coming away better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

I prefer you to make mistakes in kindness than work miracles in unkindness

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

Too much kindness and respect are given to the unseen and not enough to humanity. It seems that in our nature we loathe each other and bestow our respect and love on the abstract.

“Only after I saw women who were attracted to distant, condescending, even violent men did I begin to understand that having a distant, condescending, even violent father could make those qualities seem inevitable, even feel like home. Because of my father, only kindness felt like home.” 

Kindness should become the natural way of life, not the exception.

If you propose to speak always ask yourself, is it true, is it necessary, is it kind.

Whenever sorrow comes, be kind to it. For God has placed a pearl in sorrow’s hand.

When we practice loving kindness and compassion we are the first ones to profit.

Be soulful. Be kind. Be in love.

Don’t ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance or my kindness for weakness. Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

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

Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. And be kinder than is necessary.
