Kinder Than Necessary


No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Ah, that is one of my favorite quotes, attributed to Aesop in his fable, The Lion and the Mouse.

Here's an opportunity to post about kindness, but not for points...just to share favorite quotes on kindness, acts of kindness you've seen or initiated, or thoughts about being kind. (Another great quote: Real kindness seeks no return.)  Feel free to comment anonymously, since this post is just about happiness, kindness, and positive-stuff.  


I'm already feeling the love.   Pass it on, and don't miss any opportunity to be kind!

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.

    A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

  5. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

    "Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much."
