Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, love is not boastful or puffed up.
: 1 Corinthians in the New Testament
The tendency towards goodness is deeply imprinted in human nature; How deep is it? That is, if this tendency is not directed at humans, it should also be extended to other creatures; This can be seen by the Turks, who are a cruel people, but they are kind to animals and give alms to dogs and birds.

Gentle love is a terrible force, more powerful than anything else, and nothing can compare with it.
[Russia] Dostoevsky: brothers karamazov
A truly charitable person doesn't care about nagging, he silently does benevolent things. Everyone says that those who gush about their sympathy are just generous to others.
[Russia] krylov: Fables of krylov
Kindness cannot be excessive.
[English] Bacon:
If charity can spread all over the world, the earth will become heaven and hell will become nonsense.
