Monday Musings [41]

Hosted by Barbara at Candy Hearts and Paper Flowers

Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the dumb can understand.

~Unknown

I had found this quote somewhere and wondered why it was unknown, it sounded so profound. Barbara said… Mark Twain said Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see… I wonder where the dumb can understand came from… Good quote, but I think someone’s messed it up a bit…

So we stand updated and corrected.

Thank you Janet and Megan for resurrecting it!

  1. Children Learn What They Live
  2. If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.
  3. If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
  4. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
  5. If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
  6. If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
  7. If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
  8. If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
  9. If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
  10. If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
  11. If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
  12. If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.
