THE QUALITY OF BEING BENEVOLENT, CONSIDERATE, OR HELPFUL.
1. Goodness is the only investment that never fails. – Henry David Thoreau
*If we are good to other people, how does that help us?

2. No act of kindness, however small, goes unnoticed. – Aesop

*When was a time in your life when somebody did something nice for you?
*Why do we remember kind acts by others?

3. If you can’t say something good about someone, don’t say anything at all. – Old saying
*Why is this advice so important to follow?

4. Speak not a word by which anyone can be wounded. – Hindu proverb

*If we do say words that wound someone, what can we do to heal the wound?

5. Be kind, for every person you meet is fighting a hard battle. – Ian McLaren
*What does this quote mean?
