"Kindness is the essence of greatness and the fundamental characteristic of the noblest men and women I have known.  Kindness is a passport that opens doors and fashions friend.  It softens hearts and molds relationships that can last lifetimes.  Kindness is how a Christlike person treats others.  Kindness should permeate all of our words and actions at work, at school, at church, and especially in our homes."  Joseph B. Wirthlin
