Wars begin in the minds of men, and in those minds, love and compassion would have built the defenses of peace.

Quotes by U Thant

As progressives, we care about the well-being of others. We are soft-hearted and have aloha, respect, compassion for others, and we don't like to see anyone suffering.

Quotes by Tulsi Gabbard

Typically, discussions of the safety net boil down to one side wanting to spend more in the name of compassion, and the other side wanting to spend less in the name of fiscal restraint. In both cases, money serves as a proxy for moral responsibility.

Quotes by Todd Young

Quotes by Terry Waite

It is in Rousseau's writing above all that history begins to turn from upper-class honour to middle-class humanitarianism. Pity, sympathy and compassion lie at the centre of his moral vision. Values associated with the feminine begin to infiltrate social existence as a whole, rather than being confined to the domestic sphere.

Quotes by Terry Eagleton

Jim Ross has such compassion for the fans. That's because this is natural for him, it's a love, just like the love Gordon Solie had for the business.

Quotes by Terry Funk

Quotes by Tea Leoni

We are mindful of desire when we experience it with an embodied awareness, recognizing the sensations and thoughts of wanting as arising and passing phenomena. While this isn't easy, as we cultivate the clear seeing and compassion of Radical Acceptance, we discover we can open fully to this natural force, and remain free in its midst.

Quotes by Tara Brach

This idea of bringing awareness to our lives seems like a good idea, right? We'll gain a productive, enjoyable, reflective life and be able to extend compassion, empathy, and joy to others. That seems like a pretty good deal.

Quotes by Tara Stiles

When we interact with others from a place of compassion without expectations, things are set up to go pretty smoothly.

Quotes by Tara Stiles

Quotes by Tanushree Dutta

Compassion should be universal.

Quotes by Tanushree Dutta

Skip the religion and politics, head straight to the compassion. Everything else is a distraction.

Quotes by Talib Kweli

Difficulty creates the opportunity for self-reflection and compassion.

Quotes by Suzan-Lori Parks

Where there is no human connection, there is no compassion. Without compassion, then community, commitment, loving-kindness, human understanding, and peace all shrivel. Individuals become isolated, the isolated turn cruel, and the tragic hovers in the forms of domestic and civil violence. Art and literature are antidotes to that.

Quotes by Susan Vreeland

When compassion wakes up in us, we find ourselves more willing to become vulnerable, to take the risk of entering the pain of others.

Quotes by Sue Monk Kidd

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

Quotes by Simone Weil

We have to bring the humanity and compassion back.

Quotes by Shelley Morrison

Compassion isn't morose; it's something replenishing and opening; that's why it makes us happy.

Quotes by Sharon Salzberg

We are taught that revenge is strong and compassion is weak. We are taught that power is more important than love.

Quotes by Sharon Salzberg

Well, I think when we can turn to the person sitting next to us and really see them with kindness and see ourselves reflected back - when there's some dignity and compassion traveling back and forth.

Quotes by Sharon Stone

I understand what it's like to go to hospitals and there's no medicine, and the best thing you have to give the patients is compassion.

Quotes by Sharon Stone

I think compassion is an important quality in people in general.

Quotes by Shannon Elizabeth

I lost my sense of trust, honesty and compassion. I crashed down and became what I consider an emotional mess. I've never been so miserable in my whole life. I just wanted to go to bed and never get up.

Quotes by Shania Twain

Misery is, by her own nature, a passing phase of sorrow, one that does not linger uninvited. Her sojourns seem to be part of life's required curriculum, perhaps because Misery endows us with compassion and empathy.

Quotes by Sarah Ban Breathnach

AIDS is a horrible disease, and the people who catch it deserve compassion.

Quotes by Sam Kinison

Quotes by Said Nursi

One of women's greatest values is compassion.

Quotes by Safak Pavey

If you run a corporation, your job is to maximize the return on investment for your investors. Good for you. But by the same token, we have to remember that corporations have no compassion. That's why legislation and regulations are necessary.

In order to have understanding, you need forgiveness, compassion, and empathy.

Quotes by Rooney Mara

We can choose between the future and the past, between reason and ignorance, between true compassion and mere ideology.

Quotes by Ron Reagan

My naivety is to assume people will think there's compassion and solidarity in wanting to play someone even though we are not them.

Quotes by Robert Lepage

All creatures tread across the rubble of ruined civilizations. The trick is to keep moving. No animal ever goes about dispensing shallow compassion.

Quotes by Rita Mae Brown

I realized a while back that I have an innate ability to be compassionate, and I saw that the strength of compassion is something that healers have and healers use.'

Quotes by Ricky Williams

What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. We all lean towards love.

Quotes by Richard Gere

We have to be a nation of compassion and some sort of humanity when it comes to the treatment of other human beings.

Quotes by Rashida Tlaib

Quotes by Paul Haggis

Clearly America is exceptional in its immorality, lack of human compassion, and disrespect for law and its founding document.

Quotes by Paul Craig Roberts

I feel even old people can do a nice love story, but here we don't make that kind of films. In the West, such films are being made and they make a nice romance, which is more like compassion.

Quotes by Om Puri

Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.

Quotes by Olivia Wilde

I think it's all about people loving each other and having compassion, accepting one another and educating themselves.

Quotes by Normani Kordei

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.

Quotes by Norman Cousins

We've sweated and torn out our hair trying to reconstruct our chosen lives, to fashion them like literary sculptures, at once monumental and yet human. We've applied all of our intelligence, our empathy, our critical faculties, our compassion - and we think, in our delusion, that it's still 1960, and our work is going to get noticed.

Quotes by Nigel Hamilton

Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced.

Quotes by Nick Rahall

Hope is like compassion to me. It's like possibility and living in possibility.

Quotes by Morley

I do not say that one who is vegetarian is full of compassion and one who is not, is otherwise. We sometimes find people, who are vegetarians, are very bad people.

Quotes by Morarji Desai

Quotes by Michelle Alexander

Tax policy is not about compassion.

Quotes by Michael Steele

She has no imagination and that means no compassion.

Quotes by Michael Foot

Quotes by Michael C. Burgess

Quotes by Mercy Otis Warren

Sen. Akaka's care, empathy and compassion were evident to everyone who knew him.

Quotes by Mazie Hirono

Compassion in evangelical churches is out of balance. When I talk about it, I get a lot of glazed expressions.

Quotes by Max Lucado

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

Quotes by Mason Cooley

I own two beautiful homes, and I'm always half-expecting the cops to pull in, seize me with firm compassion, and escort me out.

Competition is such a virtue, and everybody's so busy competing, they have no time for compassion.

Quotes by Major Owens

Quotes by LZ Granderson

Children, even infants, are capable of sympathy. But only after adolescence are we capable of compassion.

Quotes by Louise J. Kaplan

If you want to understand your parents more, get them to talk about their own childhood; and if you listen with compassion, you will learn where their fears and rigid patterns come from. Those people who 'did all that stuff to you' were just as frightened and scared as you are.

Quotes by Louise L. Hay

Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

Quotes by Louis V. Gerstner, Jr.

The dew of compassion is a tear.

Quotes by Lord Byron

Quotes by Liv Tyler

I'm hopeful for a world with more love, acceptance, and compassion for others.

Quotes by Laila Ali

Quotes by Kyra Sedgwick

Christlike communications are expressions of affection and not anger, truth and not fabrication, compassion and not contention, respect and not ridicule, counsel and not criticism, correction and not condemnation. They are spoken with clarity and not with confusion. They may be tender or they may be tough, but they must always be tempered.

Quotes by L. Lionel Kendrick

I just don't know that shame and fear need to be our teachers; rather, compassion, understanding, and love should be our guides.
