Kindness is a magical spell—performed by enlightened beings—meant to enchant hearts and lift weary souls that they might fly.

Every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone's day.

Love is donating a chunk of your life to patch up holes in the life of another.

As a child, I once suffered a bad fall that resulted in scratched palms and scraped knees. I remember how badly it stung, the cold air hitting my bleeding wounds; I felt that I couldn’t stand up for the pain. Through a veil of tears, I recall a kind hand reaching for me and helping me to my feet. My knees and palms were washed clean, and I remember thinking that for the rest of my life, I wanted to help people stand back up.

Imagine the greatness this world would know if kindness were as contagious and enduring as the common cold.

Service is a smile.  It is an acknowledging wave, a reaching handshake, a friendly wink, and a warm hug.   It's these simple acts that matter most, because the greatest service to a human soul has always been the kindness of recognition.
