I actually think that the most efficacious way of making a difference is to lead by example, and doing random acts of kindness is setting a very good example of how to behave in the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kindness eases everything almost as much as money does.
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.
Manners make the world work. They're not only based on kindness but also efficiency. When people know what to do, the world is smoother. When no one knows what to do, it's chaos.
If you have an impulse to kindness, act on it.
Kindness makes a fellow feel good whether it's being done to him or by him.
One of the toughest things for leaders to master is kindness. Kindness shares credit and offers enthusiastic praise for others' work. It's a balancing act between being genuinely kind and not looking weak.
You can accomplish by kindness what you cannot by force.
To know that once you decide to look at life outside of the narrow limits of just your world and start to understand that you can make a difference in very simple ways - in volunteering and all the way up to bigger world problems.
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
Kindness is something that I feel is leaving us a little bit - people are getting more self-involved.
