It is the characteristic of the magnanimous man to ask no favor but to be ready to do kindness to others.

We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Kindness is the essence of greatness and the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known.

Greatness does not consist in receiving honors but in deserving them.

The cheerful clatter of Sir James Barrie's cans as he went round with the milk of human kindness.
