JM Barry is great. I have his "The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History".

Interestingly, Goodreads has both JM Barry and JM Barrie... both are favourites of mine. And, both have a similiar quote.

“Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.”
? J. M. Barry

“Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always try to be a little kinder than is necessary?”
? J.M. Barrie

Either way, I first saw Hillary use it many years ago and she attributed it to her father. Don't know who it actually came from first, but, I really like Hillary's fathers version. The version attributed to JM Barry. It's a great quote. ;)

This is who Anderson Cooper was quoting:

Karin, it cracked me up, Anderson Cooper just quoted you:
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Good reminder for all.
