Kindness in words creates confidence.

Kindness in thinking creates profundity.

Kindness in giving creates love. - Lao-Tse

Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life. - William Wordsworth
