Being kind to someone, only to look kind to others, defeats the purpose of being kind.

Cruel people offer pity when they no longer feel threatened. However, kind people offer compassion and understanding regardless.

Be leery of silence. It doesn't mean you won the argument. Often, people are just busy reloading their guns.

Until you have stood in another woman’s stilettos, you will never begin to know the year of pain she felt breaking them in.

People. They're really innately, inherently gentle and compassionate and kind. That's what wrings, wrenches...something. Your entrails, maybe. The member of the mob who holds up the whole ceremony for seconds or even minutes while he dislodges a family of bugs or lizards from the log he is about to put on the fire.

Arrogance is someone claiming to have come to Christ, but they won't spend more than five minutes listening to your journey because they are more concerned about their own well being, rather than being a true disciple of Christ. Blessed is the person that takes the time to heal and hear another person so they can move on.
