Beautiful Colors and beautiful words
The colors are fantastic, but the words are better.
Compassion
is language the deaf
can hear and the blind can see.
~Mark
Twain~
Kindness
is in our power
even when fondness is not.
~Henry James~
Today
I bent the truth to be kind,
and I have no regret,
for I am far surer of what is kind
than I am of what is true.
~Robert Brault~
Treat
everyone with politeness,
even those who are rude to you,
not because they are nice
but because you are.
Never
look down on anyone
unless you are helping them up.
A
good character is the best tombstone.
Those who loved you will remember.
Carve your name on hearts,
not on marble.
It's
nice to be important
but it's more important to be nice.
Today,
give a stranger one of your smiles.
It
might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
If
you want others to be happy,
practice compassion.
I
always prefer to believe the best of everybody,
it saves so much trouble.
~Rudyard Kipling~
Don't
be yourself
be someone nicer.
Never
miss an opportunity
to make others happy,
even if you have to leave
them alone in order to do it.
Love
your enemies.
It will confuse them greatly.
There
is one word which may serve
as a rule for all one's life: reciprocity.
~Confucius~
Grownups
know that little things matter
and that relationships are based on respect.
Don't
wait for people to be friendly,
show them how.
~Henry James~
The
most important trip you may take
in life is meeting people halfway.
~Henry Boyle~
When
I was young,I admired clever people.
Now that I am old,I admire kind people.
~Abraham Heschel~
If
we should deal out justice only in this world,
who would escape?
No, it is better to be generous
for it gains us gratitude.
~Mark Twain~
Be
tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
tolerant of the weak,
because someday in your life
you will be all of these.
( My favorite A+ )
~George Washington Carver~
You
can't live a perfect day without
doing something for someone who
will never be able to repay you.
~John Wooden~
If
those who owe us nothing
gave us nothing,
how poor we would be
~Antonio Porchia~
You
cannot do a kindness too soon for you
never know how soon it will be too late.
Thinking
about you and hoping you are doing well.
