Anybody can act good to be around when they are doing really well.
We are never so generous as when giving advice.
How easy it is to invent a humanity, for anyone at all.
i usedta live in the world really be in the world free & sweet talkin good mornin & thank-you & nice day uh huh i cant now i cant be nice to nobody nice is such a rip-off regular beauty & a smile in the street is just a set-up
On Christmas day you can't get sore, your fellow man you must adore. There's time to cheat him all the more the other three hundred and sixty-four
He's nice enough not to want to be associated with a nasty remark but not nice enough not to make it. Lacking the courage of one's nastiness does not make one nice.
We'd all like a reputation for generosity, and we'd all like to buy it cheap.

Acting politely in front of someone black and/or gay and then making horrible claims about their intelligence or worth as human beings after they leave the room is not kindness - it's hypocrisy.
They're a symbol of the whole town, pretending to fight, love, weep and laugh all the time - and they're phonies, all of them. And I head the list...their phony hearts were dripping with the milk of human kindness.
We hate the kindness which we understand.
I was suffering from the delusion that it's the thought that counts.
I was always sweet, at first. Oh, it's so easy to be sweet to people before you love them.
Some people around you don't mean you good.
Courtesy and good-humour are often found with little real worth.
