Turn yourself not away from three best things: Good Thought, Good Word, and Good Deed.

Your good thoughts, good words and good deeds alone will be your intercessors.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

Kind words do not cost much. They never blister the tongue or lips. They make other people good-natured. They also produce their own image on men’s souls, and a beautiful image it is.
