It is only after one is in trouble that one realizes how little sympathy and kindness there are in the world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.
It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.
It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.
Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.
When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like a wildfire.
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.
It really is a blessing when two people who are so full of dignity and kindness and really live to make the world a better place get together.
A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.
Kindness in ourselves is the honey that blunts the sting of unkindness in another.
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
