---

No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

There is always a way to be honest without being brutal.

D. H. LAWRENCE:

quote:

---

The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgement is never just.

FRANCIS BACON:

quote:

If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them.

FREDERICK W. FABER:

quote:

JANE NELSON:

quote:

---

Where did we ever get the crazy idea that in order to make children do better, first we have to make them feel worse? Think of the last time you felt humiliated or treated unfairly. Did you feel like cooperating or doing better?

JEAN BAPTISTE HENRY LACORDAIRE:

quote:

---

We are the leaves of one branch, the drops of one sea, the flowers of one garden.

~Antonio Porchia, Voces, 1943, translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin

quote:

---

Have you had a kindness shown?
Pass it on;
'Twas not given for thee alone,
Pass it on;
Let it travel down the years,
Let it wipe another's tears,
'Til in Heaven the deed appears -
Pass it on.

~Henry Burton, Pass It On

quote:

The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
