Roald Dahl

Sam Levenson

“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Sharon Salzberg

“That is what compassion does. It challenges our assumptions, our sense of self-limitation, worthlessness, of not having a place in the world, our feelings of loneliness and estrangement. These are narrow, constrictive states of mind. As we develop compassion, our hearts open.”
Eric Hoffer
Eric Hoffer
“Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind.”
Albert Schweitzer
Albert Schweitzer
“As for…the fear that compassion will involve you in suffering, counter it with the realization that the sharing of sorrow expands your capacity to share joy as well. When you callously ignore the suffering of others, you lose the capacity to share their happiness, too.”
Anne Herbert
Anne Herbert
“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.”
Steve Maraboli
