Your kind gestures may inspire others to act in kind, and perhaps set off chain reactions of good will that karmically circle back to you.
One of the most difficult things to give away is kindness—it is usually returned.
Cort R. Flint
Before your kindness returns to you, it will gladden hearts, uplift spirits, and energetically connect you to countless others who would have otherwise remained strangers.
Start some kind word on its travels. There is no telling where the good it may do will stop.
Wilfred Grenfell
Though your kindnesses may fade into the mists of time, they will live on in the hearts and souls of those who were fortunate enough to be graced by your generous spirit.
On that best portion of a good man’s life,
His little nameless unremembered acts
Of kindness and of love.
William Wordsworth
Kindness is the greatest legacy that you can bequeath to the countless generations yet to come.
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
Amelia Earhart
