Karen Handel“Kindness is like a muscle, the more we exercise it the better we are at it.Kindness starts as a thought but ends as an action. Acting kindly toward others is the only real way to let people know we care about them and their happiness. Without action, kindness just lives in our minds but never touches the real world.Being kind to others doesn’t have to be complex or fancy. Sometimes the simplest acts of kindness are seen as the most sincere, such as holding the door, helping with directions, saying “please” and “thank you,” or even just a smile.”
Steven Handel“Handel was a man of the world but Bach was a world of a man.”

James Fenton“After all, there was something rather pleasant in knowing that you were misunderstood. It made you feel different from everyone else.”
