Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.

The world is full of love and pity, I say. Had there been less suffering, there would have been less kindness.

Kindness is very indigestible. It disagrees with proud stomachs.

Never lose a chance of saying a kind word. As Collingwood never saw a vacant place in his estate but he took an acorn out of his pocket and planted it, so deal with your compliments through life. An acorn costs nothing, but it may spread into a prodigious timber.
