<\/p>\n\u201c\u2026the milk of human kindness\u201d is a quotation from Macbeth (a play by William Shakespeare) spoken by Lady Macbeth as she expressed her concern that her husband lacked the necessary ruthlessness to kill Duncan and seize the throne:<\/p>\n
\u201cYet do I fear thy nature; it is too full o\u2019 the milk of human kindness to catch the nearest way.\u201d Other quotes on the subject:<\/p>\n
\u201cKindness is giving hope to those who think they are all alone in this world.\u201d And \u201ckindness is seeing the best in others when they can\u2019t see it in themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the milk of human kindness turns sour<\/p>\n
and it smells bad tastes bad and we feel sad<\/p>\n
when it continues to get worse by the hour<\/p>\n
concluding with the most vitriol you ever had<\/p>\n
When thoughts producing human kindness run dry<\/p>\n
and peaceful existence begins to slowly ebb away<\/p>\n
and doves of peace no longer fly up in your sky<\/p>\n
its time to forage for freedom and make some hay<\/p>\n
When the cream of human kindness freezes into ice<\/p>\n
or curdles and spoils from all your hot temper heat<\/p>\n
and people add insults to injury making life not nice<\/p>\n
swearing using four letter expletives we won\u2019t repeat<\/p>\n
We need to use a lot more friendship and forgiveness<\/p>\n
and drink heartily the milk of kindness that it gives us.<\/p>\n
When you and others grow tired of anger and that ilk<\/p>\n
surrounded by no moral integrity folks who try to bilk<\/p>\n
try and adhere to common sense, use some compromise<\/p>\n
follow the 10 Commandments, heed words of the wise<\/p>\n
you will find you have more human kindness milk.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet cease your ire, you angry stars of heaven!\u201d<\/p>\n
