Quotes About Kindness

Goodness is weakness, pleasantness is poisonous, serenity is mediocrity, and kindness is for losers.
~ Jasper Fforde
I'm always surprised that you all don't take more interest in other creatures. It's like living on a street and not knowing your next-door neighbor. If I were human, I'd start investing in a little kindness. When the arthropods rule the planet, all those lobster dishes and crab sticks could well be a cause of some regret.

Be just, human, kindly. Do

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
LinguÈ™irea, sau mai bine zis îng?duinÈ›a, nu e totdeauna un p?cat, ea e de cele mai multe ori o virtute, îndeosebi la tineri. Bun?tatea cu care un om ne trateaz? ne leag? de el; nu-i cedezi ca s? profiÈ›i de el, ci ca s? nu-l mâhneÈ™ti, ca s? nu-i pl?teÈ™ti binele cu r?u.

~ Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Je sais et je sens que faire du bien est le plus vrai bonheur que le cÅ"ur humain puisse goûter.
