Quotes about kindness

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference.

Barbara de Angelis

Act with kindness but do not expect gratitude.

Confucius

All cruelty springs from weakness.

Seneca

Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.
