| Quotes: |
Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.
<br />
<hr>
It really shocks me when I encounter people who think kindness doesn't matter. Because I think it's pretty much the only thing that matters.
<br />
<hr>
We're like a gardener with a hose and our attention is water - we can water flowers or we can water weeds.
<br />
<hr>
Cynicism is kind of like folding your arms and stepping back and commenting on things, like the old guys in 'The Muppets,' just throwing out comments all the time, whereas there are other people on the ground really trying to affect things and improve their lives and the lives of other people. I think it's noble and I think it's cool.
<br />
<hr>
It's not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even - or rather, especially - when we'd prefer not to be. |
