Cheerfulness is a very great help in fostering the virtue of charity. Cheerfulness itself is a virtue.

Have you not noticed in your past experience that your kind interpretations were almost always truer than your harsh ones?

Only a kind person is able to judge another justly and to make allowances for his weaknesses. A kind eye, while recognizing defects, sees beyond them.

Genuine love will always feel urged to communicate joy - to be a joy-giver. Mankind needs joy.

The practice of patience toward one another, the overlooking of one another's defects, and the bearing of one another's burdens is the most elementary condition of all human and social activity in the family, in the professions, and in society.

A sarcastic person has a superiority complex that can be cured only by the honesty of humility.

Kind words are a creative force, a power that concurs in the building up of all that is good, and energy that showers blessings upon the world.
