"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

Plato is quoted as saying "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." 

Image from a German children's book 1845 "Der Struwwelpeter" by Heinrich Hoffmann, literally translated, Struwwel-Peter means Shaggy-Peter.  It comprises ten illustrated and rhymed stories, mostly about children. Each has a clear moral that demonstrates the disastrous consequences of misbehavior in an exaggerated way.

This image is from "The Dreadful Story of the Matches"
