Quote

A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.

Love has an enormous number of connotations, and if somebody is a person who does kind acts as a way of life, if they are generally disposed to being caring and loving and doing things for other people, then kindness is a much stronger word than we make it out to be.

Kindness eases everything almost as much as money does.

Kindness makes a fellow feel good whether it's being done to him or by him.

Kindness is an everyday byproduct of all the great virtues.

Kindness is wisdom.

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.
