(YOU WILL) RECEIVE WHAT YOU GIVE


"Kindness gives birth to kindness."

Sophocles (497/6 BC-406/5 BC) Greek tragic poet.

And insult to insult, injury to injury.

Consider how you'd like others to treat you.

Sooner or later, generally much sooner, what you send around will come around to you.

KINDLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS


"The kindness planned for tomorrow doesn't count for today."

Unknown

Another example of what you do, not what you say you'll do.

What is, not what you say will be.

And nowhere more important than for kindness.

THE REMEMBERED OFFENSE


"Acts of kindness may soon be forgotten, but the memory of an offense remains."

Proverb

So think carefully before you speak or act; those you offend will long after you hope they'd forget.

I KNOW YOUR KIND


"Oh worse than everything, is kindness counterfeiting absent love."

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) British poet/critic/philosopher

Substitute any number of adjectives for love, for example, respect, admiration, gratitude, and this applies equally well in business.

Acts of kindness are not always intended to demonstrate kindness.

THE KIND BUSINESS


"To cultivate kindness is a valuable part of the business of life."

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) British author

I think you could drop the second "of" and it would apply equally well.

Agree?
