Love this, and these few short quotes on kindness:
“Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give
without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without
meanness.”
―
George Sand
“Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.”
―
Kahlil Gibran
“I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.”
― Mother Teresa

“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”

Letters and Papers from Prison
“One of the most spiritual things you can do is embrace your humanity.
Connect with those around you today. Say "i love you", "i'm sorry", "i
appreciate you", "i'm proud of you"...whatever you're feeling. Send
random texts, write a cute note, embrace your truth and share it...cause
a smile today for someone else...and give plenty of hugs.”

Steve Maraboli
“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in
filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it
run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes
the heart run over.”

Ray Bradbury,

“One man practicing kindness in the wilderness is worth all the temples this world pulls.”

“If a person seems wicked, do not cast him away. Awaken him with your
words, elevate him with your deeds, repay his injury with your kindness.
Do not cast him away; cast away his wickedness.”
― Lao Tzu

Nothing,' wrote Tolstoy, 'can make our life, or the lives of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness.” ― Gretchen Rubin
“When you find yourself in need of spiritual nourishment, it is in the
opportunities to serve others that you will find the abundance you
seek.”
