Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not. ~Samuel Johnson

It’s easy to be kind to people we love or even people we want to impress. It’s much harder to be kind to that bumbling waiter, cranky cashier or rude taxi driver. A truly kind person is the one who shows kindness to the person they will never see again, for they are not being kind with the expectation of getting something in return. We remember small acts of kindness shown to us by strangers. These are the acts of kindness that will start the ripple that will really change the world.
