~ Getting money is not all a man's business; to cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life. ~ ~ Little kindnesses ... will broaden your heart, and slowly you will habituate yourself to helping your fellow man in many ways. ~ ~ Words of praise, indeed, are almost as necessary to warm a child into a genial life as acts of kindness and affection. Judicious praise is to children what the sun is to flowers. ~ ~ Few acts of kindness do as much to make the world a better place as when we choose to consciously bear our own meanness. ~ ~ Worry, hate, fearótogether with their offshoots: anxiety, bitterness, impatience, avarice, unkindness, judgmentalness, and condemnationóall attack the body at the cellular level. It is impossible to have a healthy body under these conditions ~ ~ Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles, and kindnesses, and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort ~ ~ The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second. ~ ~ Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person. ~ ~ To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel. Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. ~ |
