Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.
Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.
People just deserve to be treated with kindness.
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.
A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.
Kindness eases everything almost as much as money does.
Every good citizen adds to the strength of a nation.
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.
Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.
