Each smallest act of kindness – even just words of hope when they are needed, the remembrance of a birthday, a compliment that engenders a smile – reverberate across great distances, and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous spirit was the source of this good echo.
Likewise each small meanness, each thoughtless expression of hatred, each envious and bitter act, regardless of how petty, can inspire others, and is therefore the seed that ultimately produces evil fruit, poisoning people who you have never met, and never will.
- H.R. White
