Kindness – impromptu post

“Your greatness is measured by your kindness; your education and intellect by your modesty; your ignorance is betrayed by your suspicions and prejudices, and your real caliber is measured by the consideration and tolerance you have for others.”

– William J.H. Boetcker

Terrific quote and beautiful music choice, though it struck me as a bit melancholy. Reflective of mood?

  Sam the boy was very cooperative and kind, and so was his master that I met by accident in a park – never seen them before. Uday, thank you for seeing this post which is important to me 🙂

This is such an excellent quote and I have posted it this thursday on my Proverbial Thursday post featuring profound proverbs and quotes. Thanks again for permission to share. It is something I will try to do each day…. not a bad recipe for life, is it? The dog is beautiful and animals can often reach us when people can’t!
