"Kindness not only makes the coffee. Kindness says good morning” is a saying that has been printed on a poster and credited to “unknown.” The saying appears in the book You Changed My Life: Stories of Real People With Remarkable Hearts (2010) by Max Lucado. The first citation on Twitter is from March 16, 2011, and Lucado’s book is credited.
However, in A Love Worth Giving: Living in the Overflow of God’s Love (2002) by Max Lucado, the saying is the reverse of the popular poster:
“Kindness not only says good morning, kindness makes the coffee.”
