William Shakespeare on Kindness

“A little more than kin, and less than kind.”

“Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.”

“When your head did but ache, I knit my handkerchief about your brows, The best I had, a princess wrought it me, And I did never ask it you again; And with my hand at midnight held your head, And, like the watchful minutes to the hour, Still and anon cheer'd up the heavy time, Saying, "What lack you?" and, "Where lies your grief?"”
