What is kindness?

Understanding, compassion, kindness, helping someone, listening, giving....

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. John Ruskin

"I think probably kindness is my number one attribute in a human being. I'll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else."

"Oh gosh, yes, brains is one of the least. You can be a lovely person without brains, absolutely lovely. Kindness - that simple word. To be kind - it covers everything, to my mind.
If you're kind that's it"
- Roald Dahl

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
- Charlie Chaplin

The Dalai Lama says that his religion is that of kindness. If there were more of this around the world would be a much better place to live.
