“But deep this truth impress'd my mind:
Thro' all His works abroad,
The heart benevolent and kind
The most resembles God.” - Robert Burns

“The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature."- C.S. Lewis

“When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us.” - John Ortberg

Daily Cue, Reminder, Vow, Blessing

* Watering my houseplants is a cue for me to expand my practice of kindness to animals and inanimate beings.

* Watching someone give up their seat to an elderly person is a reminder for me to make the little kind gestures.

* Knowing how nice it is to receive compliments, I vow to praise someone as an act of kindness today.

* Blessed is the Gracious Creator who has established kindness as a healing balm in everyday life.

"Most people think I'm crazy—I'm in a cult called happiness, I practice the religion of kindness, I'm a quack in the pseudoscience of love, I work in the field of unlimited possibilities, my diet is that of knowledge, my orientation is irrelevant, my purpose is growth, my entitlement is freedom, my motivation is joy, my evidence is my success, and my race is humankind—I still haven't figured out the crazy part.” - Drew Gerald

“A glass of water has no value on its own, but the moment it quenches the thirst of an exhausted person, it turns more valuable than gold. Be a glass of water and quench the thirst of others. A glass of water doesn’t need any fancy introduction to be hailed important, it doesn't need pomp and ceremony to be seen as significant, it doesn’t need any fancy attire to appear appealing, all it needs to do is be there for the thirsty.” - Abhijit Naskar

“We are most ourselves, the most human, when we unabashedly immerse ourselves in the world with love and hope, gratitude and kindness.” - John Sean Doyle

“Never ever hurt anyone in this journey. We are all travelers and we must carry kindness in our baggage!”
― Avijeet Das

“Kindness is probably the most underrated human quality. We tend to dismiss it when we come across it and seek out more exciting character traits. But kindness is often a refined form of courage. It brings light and warmth into the world. You should always value kindness when you find it.” - Glenn Haybittle

“We can make a difference in another person's life in any situation we find ourselves in, sometimes by the most seemingly insignificant acts of kindness.” Paul Holton

“You can make people feel good with a smile or a thoughtful gesture. You have that infinite power. Holding the door for someone can change their day. Kind words can change their life.” - Jolene Stockman
