If
someone listens, or stretches out a hand, or whispers
a kind word of encouragement, or attempts to understand
a lonely person, extraordinary things begin to
happen.
-- Loretta Girzaitis
"Our
lives are fed by kind words and gracious behavior.
We are nourished by expressions like 'excuse me'
and other such simple courtesies...Rudeness, the
absence of the sacrament of consideration, is
but another mark that our time-is-money society
is lacking in spirituality, if not also in its
enjoyment of life."
-- Ed Hays
Often
we can help each other most by leaving each other
alone; at other times we need the hand-grasp and
the word of cheer.
--Elbert Hubbard
