Some of My Favorite Quotes on Kindness, Generosity and Compassion

Last week, my Italian-American neighbor visited me and brought with her Apple sauce she just prepared and Pasta. In returned, I gave her a big slice of smoke ham. She like the ham so much, she requested if I have another small slice. She said it reminded her of the ham in Italy during her childhood years. This act of Kindness reminded me of an article I wrote about some of my favorite quotes on Kindness, Generosity and Compassion.

"Just recently I wrote in my blogs an act of kindness I received from a young teenager in our neighborhood. In that article, I also referenced 4 act of kindness that my family and I experienced during the last 6 decades both here in the US and in the Philippines.
