“ But I’ve met a lot of people in my time on this mostly amusing planet. I’ve been lucky enough to meet prime ministers, princes, models, rock stars, film stars, television stars, playwrights, novelists, poets, footballers, Nobel Prize-winners, seven Dr Whos, assorted billionaires, arch-criminals, superheroes, super-tossers… The point is there is only one thing you truly remember about people, from Gordon Brown to Gordon Ramsay. It’s not how talented they are, how clever they are; how knowledgeable, how attractive, or how famous; how rich or how powerful. There’s only one thing in the end that matters - a small thing, the only thing that actually counts - and it’s how kind they are. Kind people are the kings and queens of the world, whoever, whatever, wherever they are.
Stephen Fry, on Kindness
