Here are more of my favorite “kindness” quotes. It’s true, kind words are free, and they really could change someone’s life.

So, who will be the recipient of some kind words from you?

“The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible”

~ Albert Einstein

“You and I can never do a kindness too soon, for we never know how soon it will be too late.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else’s life forever.”

~ Margaret Cho

“The work an unknown good man has done is like a vein of water flowing hidden underground, secretly making the ground green.”

~ Thomas Carlyle

“Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. Mental trouble was never known to arise from such quarters. Though they do not cost much yet they accomplish much. They make other people good natured. They also produce their own image on men’s souls, and a beautiful image it is.”

~ Blaise Pascal

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”

~ The Dalai Lama
