People fancy they are enjoying themselves, but they are really tearing out their wings for the sake of an illusion. - Jalaluddin Rumi

Kindness is too often left uncultivated, because men do not sufficiently understand its value. Men may be charitable and not kind; merciful, yet not kind; self-denying and yet not kind.
