kindnessDo you need some inspiration to help you step out and be kind to the world around you? Here are seven quotes to remember…

“We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” – Sir Winston Churchill

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice, but because you are.  ~ Author Unknown

A good character is the best tombstone.  Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered.  Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.  ~ Charles H. Spurgeon

“A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses”.  ~ Chinese Proverb

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.  Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.  ~ George Washington Carver

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.  ~ Malayan Proverb

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12 NIV
