These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. There were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. But it never works. You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. Money is no substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you as I'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have.

Morrie Schwartz

I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.

Marcel Proust

Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your eyes, kindness in your face, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greetings. We are all but His instruments who do our little bit and pass by. I believe that the way in which an act of kindness is done is as important as the action itself.

Mother Teresa

Nothing is so much calculated to lead people to forsake sin as to take them by the hand and to watch over them in tenderness. When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what pow'r it has over my mind.

Joseph Smith, Jr.

Passion and kindness are the most attractive qualities. Sense of humour is up there, but kindness becomes more important as you get older. You realise the funny, charming ones aren't always the best people.

Roisin Conaty

We are hungry for tenderness, in a world where everything abounds we are poor of this feeling which is like a caress for our heart we need these small gestures that make us feel good Tenderness is a disinterested and generous love, that does not ask anything else to be understood and appreciated.

Alda Merini

Two important things are to have a genuine interest in people and to be kind to them. Kindness, I've discovered, is everything.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Mum always taught us that compassion and kindness were the most important things in life, that it was better to be kind than right.

Rebecca Gibney

That was one of the saddest things about people--their most important thoughts and feelings often went unspoken and barely understood.

Alexandra Adornetto

Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. I can tell you, as I'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have."

Mitch Albom

My religion is kindness. A good mind, a good heart, warm feelings these are the most important things.

Dalai Lama

Awaken your heart to kindness and mercy for the people and love and tenderness for them. Never, never act with them like a predatory beast which seeks to be satiated by devouring them, for the people fall into two categories: they are either your brethren in faith or your kindred in creation.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.

Katharine Hepburn

We have to be militants for kindness, subversive for sweetness and radicals for tenderness.

Cornel West

What is important is not the quantity of your knowledge but its quality. You can know many things without knowing the most important.

Leo Tolstoy

You know if they said kindness or funniness was really most important to them then they will be more likely to say yes to the person that they thought was kind and funny.
