Intuition is one of our most important gifts

them. ~Alen Cohen
-
Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away
just below the conscious level. ~Dr. Joyce Brothers
-
I had thought joy to be rather synonymous with happiness, but
it seems now to be far less vulnerable than happiness. Joy seems to be part of
an unconditional wish to live, not holding back because life may not meet our
preferences and expectations. Joy seems to be a function of the willingness to
accept the whole, and to show up to meet with what ever is there. It has a
kind of invincibility that attachment to any particular outcome would deny us.
~Rachel Naomi Remen
-
All who would win joy, must share it. ~Lord
Byron
-
Joy is not in things, it is in us. ~Jess Lair

sun makes the ice melt, kindness causes misunderstandings, mistrust, and
hostility to evaporate. ~Albert Schweitzer
-
Deeds of kindness are equal in weight to all
the commandments. ~The Talmud
-
Every day I see at least one person who is
struggling or having a hard day, and I try to smile or say, 'Hi,' even if I
don't know them. Sometimes that simple 'Hi' — that reaching out to them in a
friendly way — could change how they're feeling. Someone once wrote, 'Make
yourself a blessing to someone. Your kind smile or pat on the back just
might pull someone back from the edge.' I live by that. ~Sara, high school
student
-
Few will have the greatness to bend history

If there is any kindness I can show, or any
good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not deter or
neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. ~William Penn
-
If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also
brighten your path. ~Buddhist saying
-
In the midst of global crises such as
pollution, wars and famine, kindness may too easily be dismissed as a soft
issue, or a luxury to be addressed after the urgent problems are solved. But
kindness is the greatest need in all those areas — kindness toward the
environment, toward other nations, toward the needs of people who are
suffering. Until we reflect basic kindness in everything we do, our
political gestures will be fleeting and fragile. Simple kindness may be the
most vital key to the riddle of how human beings can live with each other in
peace, and care properly for this planet we all share. ~Bo Lozoff
-
It is our special duty, that if anyone needs
our help, we should give him such help to the utmost of our power. ~Cicero
-
I've found what's truly sacred in life's small
things...Hopefully, the world can be changed through acts of kindness, acts
of affection and love--the idea of doing normal, everyday things that
actually have an effect down the line...Be kind. Because the opposite works
as well. You can send your hatred to the future. And we all know the end
result. ~Sting
-
Just because an animal is large, it doesn’t
mean he doesn’t want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that
he wants as much kindness as Roo. ~Pooh's Little Instruction Book (inspired
by A.A. Milne)
-
Kind words can be short and easy to speak but
their echoes are truly endless. ~Mother Teresa
-
Kind words produce their own image in men's
souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the
hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not
yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used. ~Blaise
Pascal
-
Kind words, kind looks, kind acts and warm
handshakes, these are means of grace when men in trouble are fighting their
unseen battles. ~John Hall
-
Kindness builds self-esteem. It provides
students with an opportunity to feel pride in who they are and in what they
do. ~Unknown
-
Kindness can become its own motive. We are made
kind by being kind. ~Eric Hoffer
-
Kindness gives birth to kindness. ~Sophocles
(447 BC)
-
Kindness has always mattered to our father. He
taught us to honor people, and he has encouraged us since before I can
remember to empathize with human suffering. When I was a teenager he’d say,
'Ann, go do something that helps people. Do something of service. It will
always make you feel good about your life.' ~Ann Curry, news anchor
-
Kindness in words creates confidence, kindness
in thinking creates profoundness, kindness in feeling creates love. ~Lao-Tzu
