Politeness and courtesy are a small price to pay for the goodwill of others.

The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.

Grief will always accept the invitation to appear. It's got plenty of time for you.

Courtesy is as much a mark of a gentleman as courage.

Work is not an end in itself; there must always be time enough for love.

Our span of life is brief, but is long enough for us to live well and honestly.

Life is short, and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts of those who travel with us; so be quick to love, make haste to be kind, and go in peace to follow the good road of blessing.

There is always time for another last minute

when you start displaying courtesy, politeness, and consideration, people start displaying them right back.

Unless you're completely exploded, there's always something to be grateful for.

Always try to be a little kinder than is necessary.

You're in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that's enough.

A thousand little civilities create tenderness in time.

When we accept the temporary nature of everything in our lives, we can feel gratitude for the good fortune of getting to borrow them for a time.
