Edgar Guest Poet

For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.

Edgar Guest Poet

I used to think mercy meant showing kindness to someone who didn't deserve it, as if only the recipient defined the act. The girl in between has learned that mercy is defined by its giver. Our flaws are obvious, yet we are loved and able to love, if we choose, because there is that bit of the divine still smoldering in us.

Susan Meissner Author

It is the kindness to take in a stranger when the levees break; the selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours. It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.

Barack Obama 44th U.S. President

Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime.
