A birthday gift to me was a Chicken Soup for the Soul book titled “Kindness Matters, 101 feel good stories of compassion & paying it forward”, compiled by Amy Newmark.

I didn’t read it like a novel, but a story or two each evening before going to sleep. Each of the hundred-plus-stories kicked off with someone’s saying.

Here are a handful of those sayings:

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live them.”
~ John F. Kennedy
*
“We are not put on earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other. If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.”
~ Jeff Warner
*
“No one has ever become poor by giving.”
~ Anne Frank
*
“Too often, we under estimate 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.”
~ Leo Biscaglia
*
“I believe that kindness is the cure to violence and hatred around the world.”
~ Lady Gaga

“True friends aren’t the ones that make your problems disappear; they are the ones that won’t disappear when you’re facing problems.”
