Kindness

Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves

• When I was going through a difficult time, someone called me up and played piano music for me on my answering machine. It made me feel very loved and I never discovered who did it - Editor Conari Press from 'The Practice of Kindness'

• If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

• 'Forgiveness is not forgetting, but remembering without bitterness'

• I expect to pass though life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

• Always be a little kinder than necessary.  If you have not often felt the joy of doing a kind act, you have neglected much, and most of all yourself.  If, at the end, all that can be said of you is that you were kind - it is enough.  

• We are advised to speak only after our words have passed three tests:- 
  Are our words true? 
  Are our words necessary? 
  Are our words kind?

• Peace in your mind, Love in your heart, and Joy in your soul. Paul C

• When a person does a good deed when he or she did not have to, God looks down and smiles and says, "For this moment alone, it was worth creating the world"

• Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.  J. M. Barrie

• Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength. Corrie ten Boom

• "Tell me a fact and I'll learn; tell me a truth and I'll believe; tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever."

• Don't count the years, count the memories.

• Beautiful young people are acts of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.

• A kinder footer for those chain messages - If you don't send this message on, don't worry, nothing bad will happen to you; you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone's day with this message. xxx

• People may forget what you said. People may forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel.

• The three most difficult things to say:-  I love you, Sorry, and Help me!

• If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

• If you had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

• The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time.  And if you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place. And, after all, isn't that what life is all about?

• Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle'.
  I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone .
