William Wordsworth wrote, “That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.” And sometimes, it might seem that these acts are all for nothing. But just as the darkest night gives way to the brightest dawn, small acts of kindness that people often ignore can turn into something beyond imagination.
