The very nature of kindness is to spread. If you are kind to others, today they will be kind to you, and tomorrow to somebody else.
By degrees, little by little, from time to time, a wise person should remove his own impurities as a smith removes the dross from silver.
Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul.
If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
When the creative impulse sweeps over you, grab it! You grab it and honour it and use it, because momentum is a rare gift.
