Love / Kindness / Affection

True Friendship

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. —George Eliot

Loving Presentation

Actually, the words we say are not always as important as how we say them.  But people can overlook our being frank if they see that we sincerely care about them.

Learn to Listen

Those who practice listening find it to be one of the most powerful and influential factors in relations.

Living, Loving, Giving

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself. —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

Building Great People

It takes love, hope, faith, and understanding to nourish the possibilities in another, and to believe that there is more to a person than meets the eye. It’s sad that so much is measured by what’s on the outside, because it’s the heart that counts.
