“Kindness is the language the deaf can hear and the blind can see”
This quote is attributed to Mark Twain the American author. It highlights the universal and impactful nature of kindness and suggests that it transcends all forms of communication so that it is readily understood by everyone. Interestingly it is unclear that Mark Twain came up with this quote even though it was popularised by digital media to him.
In fact an earlier version of a similar quote came from a book published in 1857 called “Thoughts, Feelings and Fancies” by Christian Nestell Bovee and he wrote “Kindness is the language the dumb can speak and the deaf can hear and understand”
