T.H. Thompson and John Watson use the quote, but it's origination comes from a man known as Philo of Alexandria, a Jewish philosopher who was born in Alexandria, Egypt and lived 20 BC to 50 AD (also known as Philo Judeaus).
Other sources say...
This is often misattributed to Plato and Philo, but is far more recent than that. Maybe there was something similar. For example:
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. - John Watson (aka Ian MacLaren)"Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle" ― J.M. BarrieIt means that everyone has problems, but by being kind to someone who is 'fighting a battle' it makes it easier for them.
Plato is quoted as saying "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."On a similar theme of being kind:James M. Barrie - the author of "Peter Pan" - said, "Be kinder than necessary."Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?James M. BarrieChapter one of " The little White Bird " Published 1902.
