Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.


You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how so

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of acting with kindness without delay because there is no certainty of tomorrow. By explaining that there is never a time that is too soon to be kind, it reminds us that we should take every opportunity to extend compassion and generosity to others. As time is fleeting and circumstances can change unexpectedly, it urges us to act without hesitation, as we never know when it may become too late to offer our kindness to someone in need.

Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream --a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows --is essentially poetry.

In spite of the roaring of the young lions at the Union, and the screaming of the rabbits in the home of the vivisect, in spite of Keble College, and the tramways, and the sporting prints, Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one.

PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs, teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.
