If you have donated, these children may never know your name, but they will never forget your kindness. - Roma Downey If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away. Awaken him with your words, elevate him with your deeds, repay his injury with your kindness. Do not cast him away; cast away his wickedness. - Lao Tzu ...some people aren't worth the trouble of being kind to, because they have neither the brains nor the power to make something for themselves out of your kindness. - Rob Sheffield People just take your kindness for weakness sometimes, and that's just the bottom line. - Ruben Studdard When I say, "I love you," it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are. You're a hell of a woman. - Joss Whedon

There are times when the kindness of strangers only makes matter worse because one realizes how badly one is in need of kindness and that the only source is a stranger. - Nicole Krauss I have always depended on the kindness of strangers. - W E B Du Bois ...when you are constantly prevailing upon the kindness of strangers-as a hitchhiker must-it keeps you in a positive frame of mind. Call it Zen and the Art of Hitchhiking. The Way of the Lift. The chrysanthemum and the Thumb. Heady on beer and the sound of my own voice, the aphorisms spilled out unchecked. - Will Ferguson That is what has happened to the United States in the international economic scene. We have deteriorated into a debtor status so that we are now dependent upon the kindness of strangers. That is not where the world's leading power should find itself. - Paul Sarbanes I have always depended on the kindness of strangers. - Tennessee Williams

My experience of men had long ago taught me that one of the surest ways of begetting an enemy was to do some stranger an act of kindness which should lay upon him the irritating sense of an obligation. - Mark Twain Some people don't know what to do with an act of kindness. - Jodi Picoult The catch phrase for the day is 'Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.' - Harvey Ball There is no wrong way to perform an act of kindness. - Catherine Ryan Hyde We all know that it is women who make the decisions, but we have to let men think that the decisions are theirs.

It seems to me that no matter what religion you subscribe to, acts of kindness are the stepping-stones to making the world a better place--because we become better people in it. - Jodi Picoult Charity is no substitute for justice. If we never challenge a social order that allows some to accumulate wealth--even if they decide to help the less fortunate--while others are short-changed, then even acts of kindness end up supporting unjust arrangements. We must never ignore the injustices that make charity necessary, or the inequalities that make it possible. - Michael Eric Dyson Great things are wrought through simple and small things. Like the small flecks of gold that accumulate over time into a large treasure, our small and simple acts of kindness and service will accumulate into a life filled with love for Heavenly Father, devotion to the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a sense of peace and joy each time we reach out to one another. - M Russell Ballard True popularity comes from...

You know, you can steel your heart against any kind of trouble, any kind of horror. But the simple act of kindness from a complete stranger will unstitch you. - Chris Abani My experience of men had long ago taught me that one of the surest ways of begetting an enemy was to do some stranger an act of kindness which should lay upon him the irritating sense of an obligation. - Mark Twain Sometimes it's easy to lose faith in people. And sometimes one act of kindness is all it takes to give you hope again. - Randa Abdel Fattah Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple effect with no logical end. - Scott Adams No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. - Aesop The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. - Aesop Some people don't know what to do with an act of kindness. - Jodi Picoult The catch phrase for the day is 'Do an act of kindne...

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness. - Carrie Fisher We have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace. - Dave Matthews You lose a certain type of innocence when you experience this type of kindness. You lose your right to be a jaded cynic. You can no longer go back through the looking glass and pretend not to know what you know about kindness. - Rob Sheffield
