Kindness, understanding and change seemed to be what I was connecting to today when rereading my list of quotes. I was reminded of the passage from Corinthians that is so often read at weddings, with the ending being, "And the greatest of these is love." Kindness before love? Maybe. Maybe kindness begets love.
The real index of civilization is when people are kinder than they need to be. Louis de Bernieres, novelist (b. 8 Dec 1954)
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom. Theodore Rubin, psychiatrist and writer (b. 11 Apr 1923)
Neither genius, fame, nor love show the greatness of the soul. Only kindness can do that. Jean Baptiste Henri Lacordaire, preacher, journalist, and activist (12 May 1802-1861)
The highest result of education is tolerance. Helen Keller, author and lecturer (27 Jun 1880-1968)
The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change. Richard Bach, writer (b. 23 Jun 1936)
