Greetings!!!
Over the years, I have collected many quotes and poems. I thought my sisters
and brothers (in spirit/action) might appreciate a few. They help me change
my perspective and maintain my focus on what is good and positive. Below are
a few on "KINDNESS". I hope you like them.

endless.---Mother Teresa

unremembered acts of kindness and of love.---William Wordsworth
Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but
manifestations of strength and resolution.---Kahil Gibran

those who travel the way with us. O, be swift to love! Make haste to be
kind.---Henri Frederick Amiel

tenderness, kindness is love, perhaps greater than love .... kindness is
goodwill, kindness says "I want you to be happy." Kindness comes very close
to the benevolence of God.---Randolph Ray

kindness.---Seneca
