I don’t remember where I heard this or who to credit, but it creeps into my head sometimes and goes something like this:
Have you ever been bitten by a mosquito? How about an elephant? It’s the little things in life that get you.
It’s the little comments made when you should’ve kept quiet that others can’t forget. It’s those little lies told that are hardest to remember.
It’s also the little things in life that make the biggest differences too! A simple thank you, or a word of appreciation or encouragement can really go a long way.
A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.
~Winnie the Pooh

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice, but because you are.
