Compassion #2

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

Compassion is a foundation for sharing our aliveness and building a more humane world.

I choose kindness. I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

Compassion brings us to a stop, and for a moment we rise above ourselves.

Compassion is the radicalism of our time.

No matter who we are, no matter how successful, no matter what our situation, compassion is something we all need to receive and give.

You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.

I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness.

The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.

The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Compassion is the basis of all morality.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.

Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

True benevolence, or compassion, extends itself through the whole of existence and sympathizes with the distress of every creature capable of sensation.

We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.

A great nation is a compassionate nation.

The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.

Compassion will no longer be seen as a spiritual luxury for a contemplative few; rather it will be viewed as a social necessity for the entire human family.

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.

The individual is capable of both great compassion and great indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and outgrow the latter.

It is in deep solitude that I find the gentleness with which I can truly love my brothers.

People may excite in themselves a glow of compassion, not by toasting their feet at the fire, and saying: Lord, teach me compassion, but by going and seeking an object that requires compassion.

If you haven't any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.

If there is any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not deter or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.

Compassion takes imagination.

Caring can be learned by all human beings, can be worked into the design of every life, meeting an individual need as well as a pervasive need in society.

Caring about others, running the risk of feeling, and leaving an impact on people, brings happiness.

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.

People who care about each other enjoy doing things for one another. They don't consider it servitude.

Nurturing is not complex. It's simply being tuned in to the thing or person before you and offering small gestures toward what it needs at that time.

Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.

When peoples care for you and cry for you, they can straighten out your soul.
