Kindness

"The kindness I have longest remembered has been of this sort, — the sort unsaid; so far behind the speaker’s lips that almost it already lay in my heart. It did not have far to go to be communicated. " - Thoreau

"Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not."  - Samuel Johnson (I like SJ. A lot)

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.  Because someday in your life you will have been all of these." - George Washington Carver

"You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson
