anthony burril's most famous mantra now sits in kai's room.  get your print here.

 

"nothing can make our life, or the lives of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness.”

~ leo tolstoy

“there’s only one rule i know of: you’ve got to be kind.”
~ kurt saunders


"here’s something i know to be true, although it’s a little corny, and i don’t quite know what to do with it: what i regret most in my life are failures of kindness.
those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering, and i responded…sensibly. reservedly. mildly.
 or, to look at it from the other end of the telescope: who, in your life, do you remember most fondly, with the most undeniable feelings of warmth?
 those who were kindest to you, i bet.
 it’s a little facile, maybe, and certainly hard to implement, but i’d say, as a goal in life, you could do worse than: try to be kinder."
