  • A little bit of attention and kindness can totally change a whole life, and a lack of that can do the same.

  • The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.

It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God's kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

  • The architects who benefit us most maybe those generous enough to lay aside their claims to genius in order to devote themselves to assembling graceful but predominantly unoriginal boxes. Architecture should have the confidence and the kindness to be a little boring.

  • Money is but one venue for generosity. Kindness is an even more valuable currency.

  • Compassion crowns the soul with its truest victory.

  • Americans are blessed with great plenty; we are a generous people and we have a moral obligation to assist those who are suffering from poverty, disease, war and famine.

  • If there had been no troublemakers, no Dissenters, we should still be living in caves.

  • Men are not flattered by being shown that there has been a difference of purpose between the Almighty and them.

  • Thus let bygones be bygones. Let past differences, as nothing be.
