Quotes are like little tokens of wisdom for life. They’re passed down and passed on from wise people. Simply reading and admiring them does not do them justice.The beautiful combination of words that form a quote are intended to be carried out in action, not in mere admiration.I hope you take the time to truly absorb the power of the following quotes and allow them to work through you.

I. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”

It is necessary for this quote to come first. Life is so fragile. It can end in the blink of an eye, without any warning at all. This quote speaks directly to the importance of practicing kindness right now. You can start practicing kindness right in this moment. Send a kind text. Call someone you haven’t talked to in awhile. Give a stranger a compliment. And show yourself kindness while you’re at it. You won’t regret it. I promise.

II. Joseph Joubert once said, “A part of kindness is loving people more than they deserve.”

There is beauty, power, and magic in that quote. Think about how much better the world would be if our kindness was not attached to condition. Kindness without condition — imagine that.
