I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your daily modus operandi and change your world.

Together we can change the world, just one random act of kindness at a time.

If you have the chance to be exposed to a loving, understanding environment where the seed of compassion, loving kindness, can be watered every day, then you become a more loving person.

Getting money is not all a man's business: to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life.

I've been searching for ways to heal myself, and I've found that kindness is the best way.

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

I always say that kindness is the greatest beauty that you can have.

True beauty is born through our actions and aspirations and in the kindness we offer to others.

Where there is no human connection, there is no compassion. Without compassion, then community, commitment, loving-kindness, human understanding, and peace all shrivel. Individuals become isolated, the isolated turn cruel, and the tragic hovers in the forms of domestic and civil violence. Art and literature are antidotes to that.

First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.

I have long believed that there are fundamentally two forces or emotions that drive our decisions - love and fear. Love has its many manifestations: compassion, gratitude, kindness, and joy. Fear often manifests in cynicism, anger, jealousy, and anxiety. I worry that many of our communities are being driven by fear.

Papa had some amazing qualities. He was a very spiritual person. He was very passionate about his work. He was a completely self-made man. At the same time, his generosity and kindness were two aspects of him that really defined his personality.

The point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on.

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

We who make stories know that we tell lies for a living. But they are good lies that say true things, and we owe it to our readers to build them as best we can. Because somewhere out there is someone who needs that story. Someone who will grow up with a different landscape, who without that story will be a different person. And who with that story may have hope, or wisdom, or kindness, or comfort. And that is why we write.

Beaten down by swirling words, and angry,nasty, hurls, I push against the tides of negative ideals and lies, eventually I will rise to bring the goodness buried deep waiting to reap the hearts of those who love, those whose kindness will never die, above the darkness there is light, and yes, to every reader's delight, there is hope, and goodness in the starry night

The measure of your wisdom is in the depth of your kindness.

You don't have to be perfect, just try to be kind. Perfection is inferior to kindness.

Live your life as such a journey that it becomes a journey of an entire new way of life - a life civilized, a life humane, a life truly alive, not just biologically, but psychologically - alive in kindness, alive in love, alive in inclusion, harmony and assimilation ? or simply, alive in and as oneness.

If you can spot it you got it. The way you see the world is a projection of yourself. If you see beauty and kindness, it's because you have beauty and kindness.

"If you don't fear your diminishing kindness

Your kindness might cause you pain, a sense of betrayal, heartburn. Be kind anyway.
