Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.
There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
I don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.
Whoever is happy will make others happy.
I’m a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending a love letter to the world.
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Overcome the devils with a thing called love.
A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.
If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.
Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy.
Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.
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.
Do not be content with showing friendship in words alone, let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.
