I shall not kiss a hand which deserves to be cut off.
CHARACTER
A man is truly religious when he is truly good.
A good character is a great boon.
Kind words are the bonds of love.
A kind word is like an act of charity.
If you cannot help men with money, help them with a cheerful face and a kindly bearing.
No man is entitled to consideration unless he has these three things, or at least one of them: the fear of God to restrain him from evil, forbearance with wicked men, and a good nature towards all.
There are cases where not kindness but severity is necessary.
