The Effect of Kind Words

Kind words ...

'Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.'

Blaise Pascal

Don't ever underestimate the positive effect of kind words. A compliment can make someone's day.'

'Wise sayings often fall on barren ground; but a kind word is never thrown away'

Arthur Helps

'Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around ...'

Leo Buscaglia

Kind words, kind looks, kind acts and warm handshakes, these are means of grace when men in trouble are fighting their unseen battles.'

John Hall

'Kind words produce their own image in men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used.'

Blaise Pascal '

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate.'

Albert Schweitzer

'Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.'

John Wesley

'The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.'

William Wordsworth

'You can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late.'

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Make someone's day. Go out of your way to say something kind to a friend or colleague. Note their response and how good it makes you feel.

Kindness is wisdom in action. It costs very little and makes such a difference.

'Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits,
Take care of your garden
And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine Kind words and kind deeds.'

Longfellow
