We shall listen, not lecture learn, not threaten. We will enhance our safety by earning the respect of others and showing respect for them. In short, our foreign policy will rest on the traditional American values of restraint and empathy, not on military might.
Theodore C. Sorensen
Image
President Reagan is a rhetorical roundheels, as befits a politician seeking empathy with his audience.
William Safire
Image
I don't think of compassion as sympathy but rather as empathy. An understanding of how people are feeling, which often translates into action.
Hazel Hawke
Image
To listen with empathy is the most important human skill.
Stephen Covey
Image
The mother condemned for a witch and burnt with dry wood, and her children gazing on The hounded slave that flags in the race and leans by the fence, blowing and covered with sweat, The twinges that sting like needles his legs and neck, The murderous buckshot and the bullets, All these I feel or am.
Walt Whitman
Image
Mercy is compassion, kindness, empathy, forgiveness. While grace might be described as blessings and favor from God that we do not necessarily deserve, mercy represents not receiving what we do deserve because of the patience, love, and atonement of the Master.
Brent L. Top
Image
Only curiosity about the fate of others, the ability to put ourselves in their shoes, and the will to enter their world through the magic of imagination, creates this shock of recognition. Without this empathy there can be no genuine dialogue, and we as individuals and nations will remain isolated and alien, segregated and fragmented.
Azar Nafisi
Image
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
Martin Buber
Image
Empathy took the edge off, and the truth is, we need our edge. Our edge is trying to speak to us, and we are too, too good at shutting it up.
Deb Caletti
Image
Within a single scene, it seems to be unwise to have access to the inner reflections of more than one character. The reader generally needs a single character as the means of perception, as the character to whom the events are happening, as the character with whom he is to empathize in order to have the events of the writing happen to him.
John Ciardi
Image
Anyone can be shamed, but feeling guilt requires empathy within.
George Saunders
Image
You have to be able to play: this is spontaneous interaction, and it flexes all the creative muscles you need as a writer. And empathy is one of those muscles.
Catherine Brady
Image
In lazy apathy let stoics boast, their virtue fixed, 'tis fixed as in a frost.
Alexander Pope
Image
I think we all have empathy. We may not have enough courage to display it.
Maya Angelou
Image
We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them.
Hugh Jackman
Image
Evil is simply a grammatical error: a failure to leap the precipice between he and I.
Linda Pastan
Image
Altruism itself depends on a recognition of the reality of other persons, and on the equivalent capacity to regard oneself as merely one individual among many.
Thomas Nagel
Image
Compassion is a living, breathing, organic emotion that vibrates through you and links you to those around you.
Deepak Chopra
Image
Time and again, people transcend the paralyzing effects of psychological pain when they have sufficient contact with someone who can hear them empathically.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
Image
True empathy is always free of any evaluative or diagnostic quality. This comes across to the recipient with some surprise. If I am not being judged, perhaps I am not so evil or abnormal as I have thought.
Carl Rogers
Image
The Joker is a psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy. Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night. I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.
Heath Ledger
Image
We miss extra bits of knowledge that can add value to our lives. We sort of lack empathy because we're multitasking all the time.
Kim Stolz
Image
Making a movie is about following characters and embarking on an adventure with them, seeing their reactions, and seeing what they do, having empathy for those characters, feeling for those characters, embarking on this adventure.
