KINDNESS

In the comments below, say which quote you prefer.
At least, this "No comments" will disappear in this post...
Keeping my fingers crossed! And feeling sorry for the kids who are absolutely
unable to work autonomously. To give you an idea, 6 kids in my "secondes" have sent me some homework, 9 in the "première", 5 in Terminale, 1 in BTS1 and none, zero, nought in BTS2.


And M. J.M.Blanquer declared lockdown a mark-free zone. Couldn't believe it as I said to one of you. Anyway,
Choose your favourite quote and explain why in the comments. Thank you!!!!


"Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple with no logical end."
— Scott Adams
"Kindness is my number one attribute in a human being.
I'll put it before any of the things like courage or bravery or generosity or anything else."
— Roald Dahl 
"Kindness is love in action."  — Henry Drummond
"A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, 
— Amelia Earhart
 
"What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult to each other?" — George Eliot
"Kindness is the shadow of God in man." — Kahlil Gibran
"When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people."— Abraham Joshua Heschel 
 
"It is a little embarrassing that, after forty-five years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other."
         — Aldous Huxley

"Surely there is no road or effort so steep but a loving deed may soften its harshness."— Helen Keller
"If you stop to be kind, you must swerve often from your path."                           — Mary Webb

I'd say my favourite quote is Amelia Earheart. I like the rhizomatic vibe to it. The exponential power of kindness.

Here’s my favorite!
Even the smallest act of kindness is never lost. I think it’s a logical sequel.
