Kindness Quotes And Sayings

by allinspiration.com

“The practice of kindness is the daily, friendly, homely caring form of love. It is both humble–a schoolboy bringing his teacher a bouquet of dandelions–and exalted–a fireman giving his life to save someone else’s. Kindness is love with hands and hearts and minds. It is both whimsical–causing our faces to crack into a smile–and deeply touching–causing our eyes to shimmer with tears. And its miraculous nature is such that the more acts of kindness we offer, the more of them we have to give, for acts of kindness are always drawn from the endless well of love.”
