Kind people have a way of working their way inside me and rooting there.
In the world as I have seen it, no man grows rich by kindness.
Ignorant kindness may have the effect of cruelty; but to be angry with it as if it were direct cruelty would be an ignorant unkindness.
If you’ve ever been homesick, or felt exiled from all the things and people that once defined you, you’ll know how important welcoming words and friendly smiles can be.
I must be cruel only to be kind.
I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.
Great persons are able to do great kindnesses.[translation by John Willis Clark]From great ladies great favours may be looked for.[translation by John Ormsby][De grandes señoras grandes mercedes se esperan.]
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
And so I try to be kind to everything I see, and in everything I see, I see him.
