“A genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives.”

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering.

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

Know the rules well, so you can break them effectively.

Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

In order to lead a meaningful life, you need to cherish others, pay attention to human values and try to cultivate inner peace.

The proper utilization of our intelligence and knowledge is to effect changes from within to develop a good heart.

People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction.

Anger is the ultimate destroyer of your own peace of mind.

Take care of others wholeheartedly, of both our friends and our enemies. This is the basis for true compassion.

When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

Proper utilization of time is so important.

I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time being ashamed.

Though the human heart may have to pause for rest when climbing the heights of affection it rarely stops on the slippery slope of hatred.

The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog.

Dogs are indeed the most social, affectionate, and amiable animals of the whole brute creation.

All our “most sacred affections ” are merely prosaic habit.

Four sweet lips, two pure souls, and one undying affection, – these are love’s pretty ingredients for a kiss.

It is the passion that is in a kiss that gives to it its sweetness; it is the affection in a kiss that sanctifies it.

We give our best affections to the beautiful, only our second best to the useful.
