Quotes about Kindness

I choose to rise up out of that storm and see that in moments of desperation, fear, and helplessness, each of us can be a rainbow of hope, doing what we can to extend ourselves in kindness and grace to one another. And I know for sure that there is no them - there's only us.

What I know for sure is that what you give comes back to you.

When you make loving others the story of your life, there's never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another. And I know for sure that in the final analysis of our lives- when the to-do lists are no more, when the frenzy is finished, when our e-mail inboxes are empty- the only thing that will have any lasting value is whether we've loved others and whether they've loved us.

The energy we put out in the world is the energy we get back. So if you want more love in your life, set your intention to be more loving. If you seek kindness, focus your energy on empathy and compassion. Conversely, if you wonder why there are so many angry people in your life, look no further than the resentment you hold in your own heart.

Mercy is like a mirror. I think mercy is what you give to others with the hope that it will come back to you. It's what you give to people who don't deserve it. It's what you give to people who haven't asked for it. It's what you give and it will come back. — Bryan Stevenson

Love is when you choose to be at your best when the other person is not at their best.

The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you are able to give.

You can't get mercy unless you give it. You can't receive compassion unless you give it.

Turn your heart toward what is good by cultivating forgiveness and compassion and mindful presence.

When you make loving others the story of your life, there's never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one person, and he or she shines it on another and another and another.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. PHILIPPIANS 2:4
