The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest intention.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren
Image
Prayer within breath is silence, love within infinity is silence, Wisdom without word is silence, compassion without aim is silence, action without doer is silence, smiling with all existence is silence
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Image
The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.
Dalai Lama

Mary Karr

Cheerful givers do not count the cost of what they give.

Bush promised a foreign policy of humility and a domestic policy of compassion. He has given us a foreign policy of arrogance and a domestic policy that is cynical, myopic and cruel.
Joe Klein

Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God never will.
William Cowper

All wars derive from lack of empathy: the incapacity of one to understand and accept the likeness or difference of another. Whether in nations or the encounters of race and sex, competition then replaces compassion, subjection excludes mutuality.

This music business can suck all the love out of you, all the compassion for people - you can start to think you're better than them. But I want to continue to let people know that I'm no better and no worse, I'm just like you.
Mary J. Blige

Woman is closer to angels than man because she knows how to mingle an infinite tenderness with the most absolute compassion.
Honore de Balzac
Image
People complain about their griefs and sorrows and how they pray to God but find no relief from pain. But grief itself is a gift from God. It is the symbol of His compassion.
Sarada Devi
Image
Other people are occupied, I alone am unwilling, like the outcast.
Laozi

Mounting an expedition to actualize a Compassionate Commonwealth of all peoples...is the great spiritual challenge of our time.
Sam Keen
Image
Some, like Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens's A Christmas Carol, have a hard time loving anyone, even themselves, because of their selfishness. Love seeks to give rather than to get. Charity towards and compassion for others is a way to overcome too much self-love
James E. Faust
Image
To live a fulfilling life, we must combine passion with compassion and strength without strife we must get out of our comfort zone and into our strength zone and we must work every day with discipline to ensure that our daily agenda reflects our values, our priorities, and the legacy we wish to leave for others.
Gabrielle
Image
But man, because he has only one life to live, cannot conduct experiments to test whether to follow his passion (compassion) or not.
Milan Kundera
Image
Culture now spreads at central nervous system speed. It’s a shame that compassion doesn’t.
Dean Cavanagh

Minerva save us from the cloying syrup of coercive compassion!
Camille Paglia
Image
Although humans inherit a biological bias that permits them to feel anger, jealousy, selfishness and envy, and to be rude, aggressive or violent, they inherit an even stronger biological bias for kindness, compassion, cooperation, love and nurture - especially toward those in need. This inbuilt ethical sense is a biological feature of our species.
Jerome Kagan
