Dating is about grand romantic gestures that mean little over the long term. Marriage is about small acts of kindness that bond you over a lifetime. ~ Lori Gottlieb
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Lori Gottlieb
Yet already their destruction begins. It comes upon them gradually, in little ways. Bit by bit their belief in themselves erodes. A growing cynicism pervades their lives. Small acts of kindness and charity are abandoned as pointless and somehow indicative of weakness. Little failures of behavior lead to bigger ones. It is not enough to ignore the discourtesies of others; discourtesies must be repaid in kind. Men are intolerant and judgmental. They are without grace. If one man proclaims that God has spoken to him, another quickly proclaims that his God is false. If the homeless cannot find shelter, then surely they are to blame for their condition. If the poor do not have jobs, then surely it is because they will not work. If sickness strikes down those whose lifestyle differs from our own, then surely they have brought it on themselves. ~ Terry Brooks
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Terry Brooks
Just like small acts of kindness can pave the way for a better world, small acts of corruption open the road for a corrupt world. ~ Charbel Tadros
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Charbel Tadros
Friendships grow from small acts of kindness ~ Dorothy Koomson
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Dorothy Koomson
...the balance sheet of her life, an endless list of credits and debits, of accomplishments and failures, small acts of kindness and real acts of cruelty. And the tears finally come as she looks away, unable to see this thing to the very end, for she knows without looking of the terrible imbalance, how long ago the credits stopped while the debits of vanity and selfishness run on and on. ~ Richard C. Morais
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Richard C. Morais
The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. ~ Victor Hugo
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Victor Hugo
That is what thrills me, personally. Small acts of kindness; thoughtful, large acts of kindness. I feel like we're in a bit of a precipice, and I think that any beautiful energy on the kindness continuum will just help us fall into a lovelier place. ~ Bellamy Young
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Bellamy Young
The cramped harsh world he portrays is a paradoxically eloquent assertion of the importance of what is so strikingly absent from it: small acts of kindness. ~ Robert Chandler
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Robert Chandler
The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
When I look at my friend's marriages, with their routine day-to-dayness, they actually seem far more romantic than any dating relationship might be. Dating seems romantic, but for the most part it's an extended audition. Marriage seems boring, but for the most part it's a state of comfort and acceptance. Dating is about grand romantic gestures that mean little over the long-term. Marriage is about small acts of kindness that bond you over a lifetime. It's quietly romantic. He makes her tea. She goes to the doctor appointment with him. They listen to each other's daily trivia. They put up with each other's quirks. They're there for each other. ~ Lori Gottlieb
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Lori Gottlieb
Evident in every small act of kindness, it was love as a verb. Love that made me feel more complete than I had ever felt in my glamorous, Jimmy Choo filled past. ~ Emily Giffin
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Emily Giffin
Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
Gretta sits herself down at the table. Robert has arranged everything she needs: a plate, a knife, a bowl with a spoon, a pat of butter, a jar of jam. It is in such small acts of kindness that people know they are loved. ~ Maggie O'Farrell
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Maggie O'Farrell
The radical Christian Right calls for exclusion, cruelty and intolerance in the name of God. Its members do not commit evil for evil's sake. They commit evil to make a better world. To attain this better world, they believe, some must suffer and be silenced, and at the end of time all those who oppose them must be destroyed. The worst suffering in human history has been carried out by those who preach such grand, utopian visions, those who seek to implant by force their narrow, particular version of goodness. This is true for all doctrines of personal salvation, from Christianity to ethnic nationalism to communism to fascism. Dreams of a universal good create hells of persecution, suffering and slaughter. No human being could ever be virtuous enough to attain such dreams, and the Earth has swallowed millions of hapless victims in the vain pursuit of a new heaven and a new Earth. Ironically, it is idealism that leads radical fundamentalists to strip human beings of their dignity and their sanctity and turn them into abstractions. Yet it is only by holding on to the sanctity of each individual, each human life, only by placing our faith in tiny, unheroic acts of compassion and kindness, that we survive as a community and as individual human beings. These small acts of kindness are deeply feared and subversive to these idealists. ~ Chris Hedges
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Chris Hedges
What gives a person's brief time on this planet meaning is engaging in small acts of kindness. Bestowing an act of kindness upon other people is the greatest gift that a person will ever give to other people and such acts shall renew the gifting person. When we unreservedly accept and love our brethren, we become the ineluctable wind that vivifies the lives of other people. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Remember that the biggest thing you could do today is a small act of kindness. ~ Cory Booker
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Cory Booker
I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay ... small acts of kindness and love. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
It's also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I've been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That's why we're here, after all, to help others. ~ Carol Burnett
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Carol Burnett
Do some small acts of kindness every day consistently, and over time it will have an exponential effect on the world. ~ Amit Ray
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Amit Ray
When autumn darkness falls, what we will remember are the small acts of kindness: a cake, a hug, an invitation to talk, and every single rose. These are all expressions of a nation coming together and caring about its people. ~ Jens Stoltenberg
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Jens Stoltenberg
Small acts of kindness are so important," she remembered her mother telling her as they had pulled away. "I once stood in the same spot she is now. I came from nothing."
"I don't know what I'd do if I had nothing," Snow recalled saying.
Her mother had lifted Snow's chin and looked her straight in the eye. "If that day ever comes, are you going to give up? No. You will carry on just as I did. I didn't give up, and someone took a chance on me." She straightened and leveled her gaze on young Snow. "Always remember your past, Snow, and let it help you make decisions on how to rule your future. But never, ever give up. ~ Jen Calonita
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Jen Calonita
We, human beings don't always need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens. Supportive relationships are very much needed. Know that, the small acts of kindness can be as powerful as very big donations. ~ Jyoti Patel
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Jyoti Patel
We pardon to the extent that we love. ~ Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." ~ Gandalf (J. R. R. Tolkein ~ The Hobbit) ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
We are constituted so that simple acts of kindness, such as giving to charity or expressing gratitude, have a positive effect on our long-term moods. The key to the happy life, it seems, is the good life: a life with sustained relationships, challenging work, and connections to community. ~ Paul Bloom
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Paul Bloom
New Evangelization is the work of the whole Church - lay, ordained, and consecrated. It's about friends, family, and co-workers reaching out to one another and proclaiming the truth of Christ using all available means - conversation, personal witness, media, and the vast array of intellectual and spiritual riches the Church has built up in her two-thousand-year history. It's about simple acts of kindness, simple challenges issued in love, and simple questions asked with sincerity. More fundamentally, the New Evangelization is more for the baptized than the unbaptized. It's for those who've been inadequately catechized but all too adequately secularized, and it's for those who've been de-Christianized in the very process of being sacramentalized. ~ Scott Hahn
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Scott Hahn
What may look like a small act of courage is courage nevertheless. The important thing is to be willing to take a step forward. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
The acts of kindness I do for my community comes from the heart. If your mind wonders why I serve the community with such a kind heart, there goes a great connection between heart and mind. Once your mind figures out why my heart drives me to service my community with unselfish intentions, this will lead to you extending a helping hand and rendering service to your community; there goes a great connection between heart, mind and body. We will both rejoice in the great feeling of doing community service and our souls will experience fulfillment together; there goes a great connection between heart, mind, body and soul. Our community service is complete. ~ Reekie D. Mays Of SDM Speaks
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Reekie D. Mays Of SDM Speaks
Small acts of persuasion matter, because there is much less distance between people's beliefs than we often suppose. We easily confuse the distance between people's political positions with the intensity of their convictions about them. It is entirely possible for people to become sharply divided, even hostile, , over relatively minor disagreements. Americans have fought epic political battles over things like baking wedding cakes and kneeling during the national anthem. And we once fought a shooting war over a whiskey tax of ten cents per gallon. The ferocity of these battles has nothing to do with the actual distance between different positions, which, when compared to the entire range of opinions possible in the world, is almost negligible.

None of this means that we can persuade our opponents easily. Persuading people to change their minds is excruciatingly difficult. It doesn't always work, and it rarely works the way we think it will. But it does work, and the fact that it works makes it possible for us to have a democracy. ~ Michael Austin
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Michael Austin
If you will study the history of Christ's ministry from Baptism to Ascension, you will discover that it is mostly made up of little words, little deeds, little prayers, little sympathies, adding themselves together in unwearied succession. The Gospel is full of divine attempts to help and heal, in the body, mind and heart, individual men. The completed beauty of Christ's life is only the added beauty of little inconspicuous acts of beauty -- talking with the woman at the well; going far up into the North country to talk with the Syrophenician woman; showing the young ruler the stealthy ambition laid away in his heart, that kept him out of the kingdom of Heaven; shedding a tear at the grave of Lazarus; teaching a little knot of followers how to pray; preaching the Gospel one Sunday afternoon to two disciples going out to Emmaus; kindling a fire and broiling fish, that His disciples might have a breakfast waiting for them when they came ashore after a night of fishing, cold, tired, discouraged. All of these things, you see, let us in so easily into the real quality and tone of God's interests, so specific, so narrowed down, so enlisted in what is small, so engrossed in what is minute. ~ Charles Henry Parkhurst
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Charles Henry Parkhurst
Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one person can do against the enormous array of the world's ills, misery, ignorance, and violence. Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. And in the total of all those acts will be written the history of a generation. ~ Robert F. Kennedy
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Robert F. Kennedy
The world, Mma Ramotswe believed, was composed of big things and small things. The big things were written large, and one could not but be aware of them
wars, oppression, the familiar theft by the rich and the strong of those simple things that the poor needed, those scraps which would make their life more bearable; this happened, and could make even the reading of a newspaper an exercise in sorrow. There were all those unkindnesses, palpable, daily, so easily avoidable; but one could not think just of those, thought Mma Ramotswe, or one would spend one's time in tears
and the unkindnesses would continue. So the small things came into their own: small acts of helping others, if one could; small ways of making one's own life better: acts of love, acts of tea, acts of laughter. ~ Alexander McCall Smith
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
It's the bell curve again," I said to Ishtar. "If - as Lazarus thinks, and statistics back him up - every migration comes primarily from the right-hand end of the normal-incidence curve of human ability, then this acts as a sorting device whereby the new planet will show a bell curve with a much higher intelligence norm than the population it came from…and the old planet will average almost imperceptibly stupider."

"Imperceptible except for one thing!" Lazarus objected.

"That tiny fraction that hardly shows statistically is the brain. I recall a country that lost a key war by chasing out a mere half dozen geniuses. Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion - in the long run these are the only people who count and they are the very ones who migrate when it is physically possible to do so ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
In life, it is never the big battle, the big moment, the big speech, the big election. That does not change things. What changes things is every day, getting up and rendering small acts of service and love beyond that what's expected of you or required of you. ~ Cory Booker
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Cory Booker
Sometimes you welcome people only for them to show you how unwelcoming you are. Sometimes you generously help people only for them to show you how extravagant and evil you are. Sometimes you teach people only for them to show you how ignorant you are. Sometimes you open your doors to people only for them to show you how dirty your room is. Sometimes you make way for people only for them to block your ways. Sometimes you draw people closer to you only for them to teach you the real meaning of betrayal and loneliness. Sometimes you smile to people only for them to show you the color of your teeth. Sometimes you play with people only for them to show you how uncouth you are. In life, sometimes, your very best intentions shall be seen as woefully bad. Sometimes in life, your very good deeds and acts would see another meaning, but no matter how people perceive, accept and treat you or your good intentions, acts and deeds, know yourself, and dare not to be changed by circumstances so easily! Regardless of how hurtful circumstances might be, dare to guard your heart and your tongue, so you may not speak what you should never say that can make you miss your reward from the Sovereign Lord. Keep doing what you have to do, as you have to do, as a living sacrifice to your Father who is in Heaven, knowing that your reward is from Him alone, and wait patiently with a calm and an understanding heart for your reward from Him, regardless of the arduous nature of the hurt and trials! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
The confessions can touch on every human emotion. They can be laugh-out-loud funny, for sure, they can be heart-breaking, they can be sexual or hidden acts of kindness, they can be romantic ... ~ Frank Warren
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Frank Warren
The sense of fulfillment is often hidden in acts of kindness ~ Todd Stocker
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Todd Stocker
The "etiquette of freedom," to use poet Gary Snyder's phrase. It encompasses small acts like teaching your children to be honest in their dealings with others. It includes serving on community councils and as soccer coaches. It means leaving a place in better shape than you found it. It means helping others during hard times and being able to ask for help. It means resisting the temptation to call a problem someone else's. ~ Eric Liu
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Eric Liu
Small Daily Acts of Greatness (SDAG). ~ Robin S. Sharma
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Robin S. Sharma
Want to snatch a day from the manacles of boredom? Do overgenerous deeds, acts beyond reimbursement. Kindness without compensation. Do a deed for which you cannot be repaid. ~ Max Lucado
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Max Lucado
Do one act of kindness each day of the year and change 365 lives. ~ Anthony D. Williams
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Anthony D. Williams
Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. ~ Silvia Pettem
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Silvia Pettem
She wasn't a woman of tremendous valor or daring heroism, but she'd always tried to lead her life in a way that would honor Jesus through small acts of goodness every day. Hour by hour, brick by brick, these small choices had slowly built a life of integrity. ~ Elizabeth Camden
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Elizabeth Camden
Soil is not usually lost in slabs or heaps of magnificent tonnage. It is lost a little at a time over millions of acres by the careless acts of millions of people. It cannot be saved by heroic feats of gigantic technology, but only by millions of small acts and restraints, conditioned by small fidelities, skills, and desires. Soil loss is ultimately a cultural problem; it will be corrected only by cultural solutions. ~ Wendell Berry
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Wendell Berry
By gentle words and silent acts of kindness, he had won her reverence and her trust, which now had deepened into woman's truest, purest love. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Kindness is like a muscle, the more we exercise it the better we are at it.
Kindness starts as a thought but ends as an action. Acting kindly toward others is the only real way to let people know we care about them and their happiness. Without action, kindness just lives in our minds but never touches the real world.
Being kind to others doesn't have to be complex or fancy. Sometimes the simplest acts of kindness are seen as the most sincere, such as holding the door, helping with directions, saying "please" and "thank you," or even just a smile. ~ Steven Handel
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Steven Handel
If life becomes hard, soften it with random acts of kindness. ~ Michael Levy, Baron Levy
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Michael Levy, Baron Levy
Science confirms that when an individual is asked to make a choice between two insignificant objects, the person's brain knows which he will choose up to six seconds before he ever vocally says a word. ~ Linda Armstrong
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Linda    Armstrong
By going out in nature we naturally discover that we are all one of its kind. The essence of humanity is therefore a reflection of our very own kindred nature which seeks out harmony above all. Attuned to the harmonious balance of the world we choose acts of love, kindness, tolerance and compassion as they are supporting tonalities that resonate deeply within us all. ~ Wald Wassermann
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Wald Wassermann
Make daily small deposits ... Our lives are defined by small acts of greatness. ~ Steve Gutzler
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Steve Gutzler
If I rule out violent anarchism, there remains pacifist, anti-nationalist, anti-capitalist, moral, and anti-democratic anarchism (i.e., that which is hostile to the falsified democracy of bourgeois states). There remains the anarchism which acts by means of persuasion, by the creation of small groups and networks, denouncing falsehood and oppression, aiming at a true overturning of authorities of all kinds as people at the bottom speak and organize themselves. ~ Jacques Ellul
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Jacques Ellul
Good words are a vain benevolence that demand no sacrifice and are more appreciated than real acts of kindness. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Our small acts of faith and service are how most of us can continue in God and eventually bring eternal light and glory to our family, our friends, and our associates. ~ Neill F. Marriott
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Neill F. Marriott
Wordsworth also said that the best part of a person's life is "his little, nameless, unremembered, acts of kindness and of love." I ~ Amy Poehler
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Amy Poehler
When one is altering the face of the universe one cannot remember small helpful acts. ~ Alice Foote MacDougall
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Alice Foote MacDougall
Kindness carries no price tag neither does it require making a purchase. A random act of kindness can change someone's life...choose to be kind always. ~ Kemi Sogunle
Small Acts Of Kindness quotes by Kemi Sogunle
There have always been and always will be people who want to help. They just don't know how. ~ Linda Armstrong
