If everyone does some good, think of what a good world this will be.

I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.

If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

The American people have not become heartless.

Any hand that I’ve shaken, any person that I met when I was Joe Blow, now that I’m this guy Kevin Hart, has come back. That’s why I treat everybody with respect. I’m always a nice pleasant guy to meet because when they come back to you, they remember.
