The Book of Kindness, September 18, 2011
This review is from: The Book of Kindness: Power of the Gentle Path (Perfect Paperback)
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "You can never do a kindness too soon, because you will never know how soon it will be too late." This is just one slice of wisdom you'll find in this book. Filled with quotes and short inspirational passages from a range of known and unknown people, it's a book you can easily dip into again and again. If you're looking for the perfect gift for upcoming holidays or birthdays year round, this book is something anyone can appreciate. We all need to remember how kindness is so easily extended. As Hugh Prather said: "...how I treat others is up to me."

A lovely, useful collection of quotes on kindess from a wide range of sources, August 21, 2011
This review is from: The Book of Kindness: Power of the Gentle Path (Perfect Paperback)
The Book of Kindness is a very unique, useful and thoughtfully gathered collection of quotes on the meaning and value of kindness as a chosen path of action. No matter who you are, you will recognize many of those quoted:from Jesus, Ghandi, Mohammad, and Confucius, to Mother Teresa, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Hugh Prather, Marian Wright Edelman, and even 16-17th century poet John Donne.
The message is simple but undeniable: Kindness has the power to transform our lives. A great book for gifts! Very insipiring and useful.
"Civilization is just a slow process of learning to be kind." Charles L. Lucas
