Ch. I: "Kindness", § 2: "Kind Thoughts", p. 39.
“
Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or kind deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they imply also a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.
— Frederick William Faber
