Quote

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.

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 in ourselves is the honey that blunts the sting of unkindness in another.

Sometimes people don't trust the force of kindness. They think love or compassion or kindness will make you weak and kind of stupid and people will take advantage of you; you won't stand up for other people.

Kindness is a sort of love without being love.

Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.

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 something that I feel is leaving us a little bit - people are getting more self-involved.

Every day, some act of kindness comes my way, even if it's just someone opening the door. It happens every day if you keep an eye out for it. Keeping an eye out, that's the key.
