For my father, being kind was natural... I have to really work at it. I love competing and winning, conquest - not words you usually associate with kindness.

Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
I think the associations people have with kindness are often things like meekness and sweetness and maybe sickly sweetness; whereas I do think of kindness as a force, as a power.
Not only do I think being nice and kind is easy but being kind, in my opinion, is important.
It is futile to judge a kind deed by its motives. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
Kindness is an everyday byproduct of all the great virtues.
Kindness makes a fellow feel good whether it's being done to him or by him.
One who is kind is sympathetic and gentle with others. He is considerate of others' feelings and courteous in his behavior. He has a helpful nature. Kindness pardons others' weaknesses and faults. Kindness is extended to all - to the aged and the young, to animals, to those low of station as well as the high.
I always say that kindness is the greatest beauty that you can have.
Being kind is the most important thing I've ever been taught. That's what my parents always told me - more important than ambition or success is being kind to people. The cornerstone of my life. What I aspire to is to be kind.
Kindness is the essence of greatness and the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known.
