“We ran up to them and they gave us hugs, cookies and chocolate. Being so alone, a hug meant more than anybody could imagine because that replaced the human warmth that we were starving for. We were not only starved for food, but we were starved for human kindness. And the Soviet Army did provide some of that.” HumansKindnessImagineArmyRanChocolateSovietHugReplacedCookiesStarvingHuman KindnessHug Me Author:Eva Mozes Kor
“Many messages are just thanking a stranger for a kindness...I love those ones, because I imagine everyone else reading them feels encouraged by such examples of humanity and generosity and tenderness. And if they encourage us to reach out to strangers more often, that's a good thing.” IfsFeelsHumanityReadingKindnessImagineExampleMessagesGood ThingsStrangerGenerosityReach OutTenderness Author:Sophie Blackall
“Look at the great athletes, musician, artists, and writers. They all tap into a source. Some call that source God or soul or spirit or consciousness. The Seven Faces of Intention: creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity. And all seven are expressions of what I imagine that source to look like. The very fact that we exist is proof to me that the nature of that source is creative at its core. And there isn't a person reading this who does not have a gnawing sense inside that there's something they're here to do, something creative.” SoulSpiritArtistReadingLove IsConsciousnessCreativityKindnessCreativeImagineMusicianIntentionSevenAthleteAbundanceImagine ThatGreat AthleteReceptivity Author:Wayne Dyer

“The real trouble is that 'kindness' is a quality fatally easy to attribute to ourselves on quite inadequate grounds. Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment. Thus a man easily comes to console himself for all his other vices by a conviction that 'his heart's in the right place' and 'he wouldn't hurt a fly,' though in fact he has never made the slightest sacrifice for a fellow creature. We think we are kind when we are only happy: it is not so easy, on the same grounds, to imagine oneself temperate, chaste, or humble.” IfsThinkingMenFeelsHeartKindMadeRealMomentsFactsHappensEasyHurtQualityKindnessImagineTroubleSacrificeCreaturesFellowsOneselfVicesConvictionHumbleAttributesAnnoyingRight PlaceInadequateConsoleBenevolentChaste Author:C.

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure - self-determined, self-motivated, often risky - forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind - and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” WorldWayRealSelfBodyMotivationalEarthForceBlackRealizingWhiteKindnessPathImagineJourneyThis WorldAdventureBearsTravelCapableDeterminedYour BodyCrueltyAround The WorldWitnessEncountersMotivatedTime TravelHumankindBlack And WhiteTraveledTravelerCompelledLimitlessAdventurousGreat TravelInspiring TravelTravel The WorldTravel AdventureAdventure And TravelSeeing The WorldLife Is An AdventurePhotography And TravelInspirational AdventureRoads TraveledLife AdventureAdventure And LifeCollideWant To TravelTravel AbroadRoads And JourneysTravel BugAdventurous LifeSelf MotivatedWay In LifeTravel And LoveLove Adventure Author:Mark Jenkins

“Kind-hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat an enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war.
