“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” “Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.” “A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees."
