Be kind Quote by Margaret D. Nadauld
“The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There enough women are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.”
