Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece by thought, choice, courage and determination. #<Author:0x00007f2480c1dad0>
CHARACTER
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely. #<Author:0x00007f2480c852e8>

BEING THERE
If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows he is a citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins to them. #<Author:0x00007f2480d16888>
COURTESY

VOLUNTEERING
Those who make compassion an essential part of their lives find the joy of life. Kindness deepens the spirit and produces rewards that cannot be completely explained in words. It is an experience more powerful than words. To become acquainted with kindness one must be prepared to learn new things and feel new feelings. Kindness is more than a philosophy of the mind. It is a philosophy of the spirit. #<Author:0x00007f2480ed8dd8>
KINDNESS
What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories. #<Author:0x00007f2480f1f170>
FAMILY
For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. #<Author:0x00007f2480f5bc60>
TRUE BEAUTY

OPTIMISM
