The demon of intemperance ever seems to have delighted in sucking the blood of genius and of generosity.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out. It will wear well and will be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away.
