Kind words produce happiness. How often have we ourselves been made happy by kind words, in a manner and to an extent which we are unable to explain!
kind persons
Nobody is kind to only one person at once, but to many persons in one.
kindness charity world
Kind words are the music of the world.
song kindness angel
Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel's song which had lost its way and come to earth.
thinking kind-thoughts judgemental
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
kindness men self
Kindness is too often left uncultivated, because men do not sufficiently understand its value. Men may be charitable and not kind; merciful, yet not kind; self-denying and yet not kind. If they would add a little common kindness to their uncommon graces, they would convert ten where they now only abate the prejudice of one.
grace listening kind
There is a grace of kind listening, as well as a grace of kind speaking.
faith kindness eloquence
Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence, or learning.
converted hence men religious speaking
If I may use such a word when I am speaking of religious subjects, it is by voice and words that men 'mesmerize' each other. Hence it is that the world is converted by the voice of the preacher.
friendship rested
Many a friendship, long, loyal, and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word.
government evil attention
Is the scrupulous attention I am paying to the government of my tongue at all proportioned to that tremendous truth revealed through St. James, that if I do not bridle my tongue, all my religion is vain?
song strong weak
Labour itself is but a sorrowful song,The protest of the weak against the strong.
rocks talent buried
The buried talent is the sunken rock on which most lives strike and founder.
good-luck waiting best-of-luck
He (God) never comes to those who do not wait.
