"Kindness as a human quality is hardly talked about these days... Even with Charles Dickens, we find this charming question in David Copperfield: - Is your brother a nice person? - I inquired with great foresight. - But how nice! cried Peggotty. Ask yourself this question about your friends and acquaintances, and you will be surprised to find how rarely they can give an answer like Peggotty.

Kindness as a human quality is hardly talked about these days... Even with Charles Dickens, we find this charming question in David Copperfield: - Is your brother a nice person? - I inquired with great foresight. - But how nice! cried Peggotty. Ask yourself this question about your friends and acquaintances, and you will be surprised to find how rarely they can give an answer like Peggotty.
""A kedvességről mint emberi tulajdonságról manapság alig beszélnek... Pedig még Charles Dickensnél is megtaláljuk e bájos kérdésfelvetést a David Copperfieldben: - Kedves ember a bátyád? - érdeklődtem nagy előrelátással. - De még milyen kedves! - kiáltott fel Peggotty. Tegyék föl magukban ezt a kérdést barátaikkal, ismerőseikkel kapcsolatban, és meglepetéssel fogják tapasztalni, milyen ritkán tudnak Peggottyhoz hasonló választ adni."
