Kind Quotes

Why do you think great leaders and great orations are coincident with wars, revolutions, and the founding or ending of governments and states? Common interests then are so clear that speeches are effortlessly drawn, but at present neither the facts nor the consequences are sufficiently clear to make oratory legitimate. This is the kind of war that will wind on and make fools of its partisans and opponents both Picture Quote #1

If you pay that price daily by planning and preparing and working to become the right kind of person, then you can legitimately expect to have all that life has to offer Picture Quote #1

These are the few ways we can practice humility: To speak as little as possible of one's self. To mind one's own business. Not to want to manage other people's affairs. To avoid curiosity. To accept contradictions and correction cheerfully. To pass over the mistakes of others. To accept insults and injuries. To accept being slighted, forgotten and disliked. To be kind and gentle even under provocation. Never to stand on one's dignity. To choose always the hardest Picture Quote #1

Christ came to be Father's compassion to the world. Be kind in your actions. Do not think that you are the only one who can do efficient work, work worth showing. This makes you harsh in your judgment of others who may not have the same talents. Do your best and trust that others do their best. And be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies Picture Quote #1

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty Picture Quote #1

Our democracy, our constitutional framework is really a kind of software for harnessing the creativity and political imagination for all of our people. The American democratic system was an early political version of Napster Picture Quote #1

Consider what kind of car you get. Buy cars and other products that have the least impact environmentally Picture Quote #1

Are you going to be just kind of a walking monument to a job, or are you going to have some kind of really significant inner life of your own? Because the external things - the job, the house, the this, the that - do not really fill the place inside Picture Quote #1

I think we're living in an age which despises humanity and despises bravery and doesn't need bravery because modern warfare has rather gone beyond bravery. It is a kind of warfare where people are fighting enemies they never see, killing people of whom they know nothing Picture Quote #1

In too many modern churches there is no emphasis on theology at all. There is a kind of justification by works or by keeping up with modern trends - anything that will drag in a few more people Picture Quote #1

Complementary to his is Thurber's remark that humour is a kind of emotional chaos, told about quietly and calmly in retrospect. Emotional chaos is not pleasant; distillation of that chaos afterward may perhaps be pleasant in some of its aspects, and undoubtedly gives pleasure to others Picture Quote #1

Thinking in its lower grades is comparable to paper money, and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry Picture Quote #1

People marry most happily with their own kind. The trouble lies in the fact that people usually marry at an age where they do not really know what their own kind is Picture Quote #1

Failing to find in women exactly the same kind of sexual emotions, as they find in themselves, men have concluded that there are none there at all Picture Quote #1

Men of action, I notice, are rarely humble, even in situations where action of any kind is a great mistake, and masterly inaction is called for Picture Quote #1

Hearts that are delicate and kind and tongues that are neither - these make the finest company in the world Picture Quote #1

I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind... At the back of the Daylight Saving scheme, I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy, and wise in spite of themselves Picture Quote #1

Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief? Picture Quote #1

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one lies forever in debt to those who are kind Picture Quote #1

Talking isn't doing. It is a kind of good deed to say well; and yet words are not deeds Picture Quote #1

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more; that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds Picture Quote #1

I knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will Picture Quote #1

There are many kinds of love, as many kinds of light, and every kind of love makes a glory in the night. There is love that stirs the heart, and love that gives it rest, but the love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best Picture Quote #1
