      What friendly relations there should be between professors and students, between ministers and their people, between parents and children, between teachers and scholars, between employers and employed, between masters and servants!  Authority is never weakened by kindness.

      Some employers, some teachers, seem to think it adds to their dignity and to their influence to be stern to those beneath them.  They make a great mistake.  The most respected professors are those who treat their students as brothers, and not as inferiors.  The most respected employers are those who are kind and courteous and considerate to those in their employment.

      Kindness does not weaken influence; it increases it. … Kindness and humility are twin sisters.
