Quotes on Compassion
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Abigail Van Buren
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso
Look at the weaknesses of others with compassion, not accusation. It's not what they're not doing or should be doing that's the issue. The issue is your own chosen response to the situation and what you should be doing. If you start to think the problem is "out there," stop yourself. That thought is the problem.
Stephen Covey

Walter E. Williams
