World Mercy Day! The annual festival began in 1998 with the World Mercy Movement, a group of delegates from about 30 countries encouraging people to do small acts of kindness in their communities.
World Mercy Day celebrates its 20th anniversary on November 13th, but we can all use a little more grace throughout the year. In that spirit, we have our favorite quotes with the kindness of everyone from Princess Diana to the Dalai Lama.
