Quotes about Being Kind

    “I believe that when you remove malice from your heart, not only do you feel better, you look better. I think you lose your frown lines and your wrinkles lessen and your age spots disappear. I believe it’s better than Botox, extending grace. I do.”

    Bevy Smith, TED Talk

      “When you have done good and another has benefited, why do you still look, as fools do, for a third thing besides—credit for good works, or a return?”

      Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (Page 69)

        “You should do goodness without choosing to whom. Good things, once done, will never disappear, even if you forget about them. There is only one way to be happy, and this is a sure way: to do goodness and to share this goodness with others.”

        Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 244)

          “You should be in a hurry to do good works, even small ones, and to avoid sin. One good thing leads to another, and one sin causes another. The reward for virtue is virtue, and the punishment for vice is more vice.”

          The Talmud, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 228)

            “Pay bad people with your goodness; fight their hatred with your kindness. Even if you do not achieve victory over other people, you will conquer yourself.”

            Henri Amiel, A Calendar of Wisdom (Page 202)
