Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.   Mother Teresa Today's quote makes me think of the ripples caused in the water when something hits it. The ripples go on and on.  Just like kind words.  They are one of the easiest things to "throw" at people and have a ripple effect in their lives.  And it seems to me that the ripple effect of kind words also acts as a boomerang, it comes back at us usually.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, And self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you Of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God It was never between you and them anyway. Mother Teresa
