"Kindly words do not enter so deeply..." - Quote by Mencius

“Benevolence is one of the distinguishing characters of man.”

“Those who follow the part of themselves which is great are great men; those who follow the part which is little are little men.”

“The regular path of virtue is to be pursued without any bend, and from no view to emolument.”

“For a day, just for one day, talk about that which disturbs no one and bring some peace into those beautiful eyes.”

“Hatred and anger are powerless when met with kindness.”

“Become the kind of person who brightens a room just by entering it.”

“A good neighbor sometimes cuts your morning up to mince-meat of the very smallest talk, then helps to sugar her bohea at night with your reputation.”

“When the man is at home, his standing in society is well known and quietly taken; but when he is abroad, it is problematical, and is dependent on the success of his manners.”

“I believe that the members of my family must be as free from suspicion as from actual crime.”
