If you have a quote, either personal or published, related to Soul Graffiti, e-mail us at quotes@soulgraffiti.com "It's not enough to have good thoughts for the
world. You must get out there! It is also really important that each person
realize their own worth. If you don't think you're good enough, how can
you turn around and help save the world?" "For every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction. If you push hard on the world, the world pushes back on you.
If you touch the world gently, the world will touch you gently in return." "Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal,
eloquence, or learning." "If you were busy being kind, Before you knew it,
you would find You'd soon forget to think 'twas true That someone was
unkind to you. If you were busy being glad, And cheering people who are
sad, Although your heart might ache a bit, You'd soon forget to notice
it." "As perfume to the flower, so is kindness to speech." "Kindness is the golden chain by which society
is bound together." "A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making
everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles." "To cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the
business of life." "Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish
much." "I expect to pass through this world but once.
Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any
fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for
I shall not pass this way again." "One can pay back the loan of gold, but one lies
forever in debt to those who are kind." "Kindness is tenderness. Kindness is love, but
perhaps greater than love. Kindness is good will. Kindness says, I want
you to be happy." "A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility
he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to
an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows
the 'why' for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any 'how.'" "You live longer once you realise that any time
spent being unhappy is wasted." "Everyone has the power for greatness, not fame
but greatness, because greatness is determined by service." "We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the
reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark." "Love and kindness are never wasted. "This is my simple religion. There is no need for
temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart
is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." "Have you had a kindness shown? "A person's true wealth is the good he or she does
in the world." "Let no one ever come to you without leaving better
and happier. Be the living expression of Gods kindness: kindness
in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." "Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into
a flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those
who have rekindled this light" "The best portion of a good man's life: his little,
nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love." "Only your compassion and your loving kindness
are invincible, and without limit." "A loving soul for a body weighs far more greater
than a lovely body for a craving soul." "People will forget what you said, people will
forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." "One who knows how to show and to accept kindness
will be a friend better than any possession." "A good heart is better than all the heads in the
world." "Once you begin to acknowledge random acts of kindness
- both the ones you have received and the ones you have given - you can
no longer believe that what you do does not matter." "Only a life lived for others is worth living." "When you are kind to someone in trouble, you hope
they'll remember and be kind to someone else. And it'll become like wildfire." "Waste no more time talking about great souls and
how they should be. Become one yourself!" "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens
can change the world: Indeed it is the only thing that ever has."
"Throughout the world powerful leaders have wanted
to leave monuments to themselves through statues and buildings named after
them. Kings and conquerors have even named large cities after themselves.
But names can very easily be changed and then nothing is left. The good
deeds of a person and his spiritual attainments are the only true everlasting
monuments." "Once gone, a day will never return. "Seekers of the blissful spirit must either sing
the name or be employed in doing good acts." "A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service
and compassion are the things which renew humanity." "Life's most persistent and urgent question is,
What are you doing for others?" "If you are searching for permanence in this world,
look to the rose in bloom and the changing seasons. The fragrance of one,
the reign of the other, are like clouds breath and then gone." "The purpose of life is a life of purpose."
"It is not how many years we live, but rather what
we do with them." "Love should be our motivation, "I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the
community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever
I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work,
the more I live. Life is no 'brief candle" to me. It is a sort of
splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make
it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
"Life is short and we have never too much time
for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey
with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind." "I am done with great things and big plans, great
institutions and big success. I am for those tiny, invisible loving human
forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies
of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water,
which, if given time, will rend the hardest monuments of pride."
