Unkindness
 
  This was the most unkindest cut of all.
Shakespeare.    
  1
  And in their height of kindness are unkind.
Young.

  Rich gifts wax poor when givers prove unkind.
Shakespeare.    
  3
  There is nothing that needs to be said in an unkind manner.
Hosea Ballou.    
  4
        Hard unkindness’ alter’d eye,
That mocks the tear it forced to flow.
Gray.    
  5
                    She hath tied
Sharp-tooth’d inkindness, like a vulture here.
Shakespeare.

Shakespeare.    
  8
  A real grief I ne’er can find till thou provest perjured or unkind.
Prior.

                Unkindness may do much;
And his unkindness may defeat my life,
But never taint my love.
Shakespeare.    
  13
        In nature there’s no blemish but the mind;
None can be call’d deform’d, but the unkind:
Virtue is beauty; but the beauteous, evil,
Are empty trunks o’erflourish’d by the devil.
Shakespeare.    
  14
  He who has once stood beside the grave, to look back upon the companionship which has been forever closed, feeling how impotent there are the wild love, or the keen sorrow, to give one instant’s pleasure to the pulseless heart, or atone in the lowest measure to the departed spirit for the hour of unkindness, will scarcely for the future incur that debt to the heart which can only be discharged to the dust.
Ruskin.    
  15
