Kindness Quotes That Will Inspire You

Using a quote as motivation may seem like a cliché, but they are great reminders that help us to stay on track and true to ourselves. We all go through life learning from each other, and what better way to be a student of life than to really listen and take it all in? In times when it can be easy to see the chaos and negativity in the world, there is always more light and empathy that rises above. You just have to be open to seeing it and, sometimes, even seeking it out. 

Still think it’s silly? Science even backs up the power of quotes! Media psychology expert and communications consultant Scott Sobel explains, “Humans are aspirational. We want to look up to role models and leaders and follow what they ask,” he says. “Leaders and their words–inspirational quotes–affect us on a primal level.”

As a brand built on kindness and the idea of giving back, we love to take inspiration from other figures that have brought about or continue to do good in the world. In moments of feeling low or discouraged, it’s always nice to turn to these reminders that can generate positivity. We recommend keeping some of your favorite quotes or motivational sayings handy in a notebook or journal to reflect on. It’s also fun to put little notes around your home, or even leave them behind for your spouse, kiddos, friends, and even strangers to discover.
