"Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love." -- 12:10."In her tongue is the law of kindness." -- 31:26.Since trifles make the sum of human things, And half our misery from our foibles springs; Since life’s best joys consist in peace and ease, And though but few can serve, yet all can please; Oh, let the ungentle spirit learn from hence, A small unkindness is a great offence.HANNAH MORE.All usefulness and all comfort may be prevented by an unkind, a sour, crabbed temper of mind,-- a mind that can bear with no difference of opinion or temperament. A spirit of fault-finding; an unsatisfied temper; a constant irritability; little inequalities in the look, the temper, or the manner; a brow cloudy and dissatisfied-- your husband or your wife cannot tell why-- will more than neutralize all the good you can do, and render life anything but a blessing.ALBERT BARNES.You have not fulfilled every duty, unless you have fulfilled that of being pleasant.CHARLES BUXTON.
