“... And unkindness was never the way to convert others to a truth of any sort. You did not change anybody, she had always believed, by shouting at them or by making them feel bad about themselves. On the contrary, it was kindness and concern that changed people within, that could soften the hardest of hearts, that could turn harsh words into words of love. That had been proved time and time again, and she had seen it herself; she had seen the power of a kind word to change a scowling or suspicious countenance.”

“The Golden Sonnet Where is el dorado? It is not a city but a person. Where is the kingdom of heaven? It is not a place but compassion. Where can we find joy? Not the market but in acts of goodness. Where can we find health? Not in gadgets but in simpleness. Where can we find strength? Not in the bank but in character. How can we make progress? Not with luxury but by lifting the other. Lesser the needs, better the life. Gentler the soul, lighter the strife.”
