About This Quote
When Nelson Mandela said, “It seems to me that no matter what religion you subscribe to, acts of kindness are the stepping-stones to making the world a better place--because we become better people in it,” he was speaking about the power of kindness. More specifically, the power of how we treat others and make our world a better place. It can be quite challenging to be kind and helpful in this day and age. All too often people think that only those who are rich enough or famous enough will be seen as kind and generous. We tend to forget that we should take care of each other no matter what life throws at us.
