Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.

Love one another. It is as simple and as difficult as that. There is no other way.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

We can do no great things; only small things with great love.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved, in returrrrn!

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

What love we've given, we'll have forever. What love we fail to give, will be lost for all eternity.

Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lies man's only promise.

I have come to believe that giving and receiving are really the same. Giving and receiving--not giving and taking.

In the sphere of material things, giving means being rich. Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much.

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

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

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

Be human / kind.

A kind word is like a Spring day.

Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.

There is one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one's life - reciprocity.
