Kindness Quotes

The way you see people is the way you treat them.

Zig Ziglar

The person whose doors I enter with most pleasure, and quit with most regret, never did me the smallest favor.

William Hazlitt

Our friends are generally ready to do everything for us, except the very thing we wish them to do.

William Hazlitt

The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.

Henry David Thoreau

Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.

William Shakespeare

Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to the place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it. As busy, active, relevant ministers, we want to earn our bread by making a real contribution. This means first and foremost doing something to show that our presence makes a difference. And so we ignore our greatest gift, which is our ability to enter into solidarity with those who suffer. Those who can sit in silence with their fellowman, not knowing what to say but knowing that they should be there, can bring new life in a dying heart. Those who are not afraid to hold a hand in gratitude, to shed tears in grief and to let a sigh of distress arise straight from the heart can break through paralyzing boundaries and witness the birth of a new fellowship, the fellowship of the broken.

Henri Nouwen

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one lies forever in debt to those who are kind.

Proverb

In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion. Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return, just know in your heart it will be returned.

Steve Maraboli

A. Neilen

Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives is the most powerful transformational force of all.

David R. Hawkins

Henry David Thoreau

It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research

Aldous Huxley

The flower of kindness will grow. Maybe not now, but it will some day. And in kind that kindness will flow, For kindness grows in this way.

Robert Alan

The good deed you do today For a brother or sister in need Will come back to you some day For humanity's a circle in deed.

Robert Alan

When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. If you injure someone you dislike, you will find yourself disliking him more. If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less.

C.S. Lewis

Today I will take the opportunity to do unanticipated good.

Steve Maraboli

He is as full of valor as of kindness. Princely in both.

William Shakespeare
