kindness rules


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."

~ george saunders advice to 2013 syracuse university graduates... please read the full speech here.

 
“if you work really hard and are kind, amazing things will happen.”
~ conan o’brien
