Good News - Random Acts of Kindness

The title of this post is taken from a Facebook Group. Below are quotations from the group's page.  Kindness is an endeavour all may engage in: people of religious faith and those of none.  

The more in the world you encounter kindness, and cheerfulness (which is kind of its amiable uncle or aunt), the better the world always is -and all the big words: virtue, justice, truth, are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness.

Stephen Fry

                                         =====

Leave footprints of kindness wherever you go.

                                         =====

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found.  It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.

J.R.R. Tolkien

                                         =====

You may not always see the results of your kindness but every bit of positive energy you contribute to the world makes it a better place for us all

Lisa Currie

                                         =====

Do things for people not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are.

Ronald S Kushner

                                         =====

If you're helping someone and expecting something in return, you're doing business not kindness.

                                         =====

When life lifts you high, let your kindness rise even higher. For one day, the winds may shift, and you might find yourself needing the very compassion you once showed to someone when they were low.

In the end, it’s not your status people remember—it’s how you loved them, how you treated them when they had none.

Eitan Bar

                                         =====

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

Charlie Chaplin

                                          =====

It is a little embarrassing that, after forty-five years of research and study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.

Aldous Huxley
