Loving Kindness

Famous quotes containing the words loving kindness, loving and/or kindness:

    I think that both here and in England there are two schools of thought—those who would be altruistic in regard to the Germans, hoping that by loving kindness to make them Christian again—and those who would adopt a much tougher attitude. Most decidedly I belong to the latter school, for though I am not blood-thirsty, I want the Germans to know that this time at least they have definitely lost the war.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Popeye, forced as you know to flee the country
    One musty gusty evening, by the schemes of his wizened, duplicate father, jealous of the apartment
    And all that it contains, myself and spinach
    In particular, heaves bolts of loving thunder
    At his own astonished becoming....”
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Shuttles in the rocking loom of history,
    the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
    their bright ironical names
    like jests of kindness on a murderer’s mouth;
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
