Quotes from the same author

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
