I don't think it's an incredibly radical premise to try and have sympathy for someone who has made a mistake.

Quotes by Joe Cornish

Manhattan's probably one of the bluest parts in the country, and Indiana's definitely one of the redder states. I have sympathy for both sides.

Quotes by Jim Gaffigan

AI don't make a big thing out of my race. If you try to preach, people give you a little sympathy and then they want to get out of the way. So you don't preach; you tell the story.

Quotes by Jim Brown

It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.

Quotes by Jerome K. Jerome

There is a joy in sorrow which none but a mourner can know.

Quotes by Jean Paul

Those who weep recover more quickly than those who smile.

Quotes by Jean Giraudoux

I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away.

Quotes by Jared Leto

Nobody in football wants to receive sympathy.

Quotes by Jamie Carragher

The heart forgets its sorrow and ache.

Quotes by James Russell Lowell

If I'm feeling outraged, grief, disbelief, frustration, sympathy, that gets channeled through me and into my pictures and hopefully transmitted to the viewer.

Quotes by James Nachtwey

Grief is only the memory of widowed affections.

Quotes by James Martineau

To desire and expect nothing for oneself and to have profound sympathy for others is genuine holiness.

Quotes by Ivan Turgenev

Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. It is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere.

Quotes by Ivor Novello

A person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.

Quotes by Irving Babbitt

The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.

Quotes by Irving Babbitt

The true humanist maintains a just balance between sympathy and selection.

Quotes by Irving Babbitt

In Shakespeare, unique individuals repudiate the stereotypes demanded by the structure of the play: Shylock commands our sympathy, Barnardine refuses to be hanged. Individuals trump the category.

Quotes by Iain McGilchrist

I'm in total sympathy with Dick Smith's sentiments; I only wish there were grounds for saying we Australians would never tolerate such appalling treatment of refugees being carried out in our name.

Quotes by Hugh Mackay

A sympathetic friend can be quite as dear as a brother.

Homer

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

Quotes by Henry Rollins

Many of the artists who have represented Negro life have seen only the comic, ludicrous side of it, and have lacked sympathy with and appreciation for the warm big heart that dwells within such a rough exterior.

Quotes by Henry Ossawa Tanner

Recognition of belligerency as an expression of sympathy is all very well.

Quotes by Henry Cabot Lodge

What ye have been ye still shall be, When we are dust the dust among, O yellow flowers!

Quotes by Henry Austin Dobson

We were united not only by political respect for each other, but also by deep mutual sympathy as people.

Quotes by Helmut Kohl

Moreover, Hispanics' sympathy for big government represents a cultural predilection as well as an economic one.

Quotes by Heather Mac Donald

If men and women are to understand each other, to enter into each other's nature with mutual sympathy, and to become capable of genuine comradeship, the foundation must be laid in youth.

Quotes by Havelock Ellis

You are 27 or 28 right? It is very tough to live at that age. When nothing is sure. I have sympathy with you.

Quotes by Haruki Murakami

Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good.

Quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Criticism in the universities, I'll have to admit, has entered a phase where I am totally out of sympathy with 95% of what goes on. It's Stalinism without Stalin.

Quotes by Harold Bloom

The novelist must look on humanity without partiality or prejudice. His sympathy, like that of the historian, must be unbounded, and untainted by sect or party.

Quotes by Goldwin Smith

Men are often biased in their judgment on account of their sympathy and their interests.

Quotes by George William Norris

Any relations in a social order will endure, if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality.

Quotes by George William Russell

The relation of landlord and tenant is not an ideal one, but any relations in a social order will endure if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality.

Quotes by George William Russell

If the terrorists have the sympathy of people, it's much harder to find them. So we need people on our side, and that leads us to be responsible leaders of the world, show some concern with the problems.

Quotes by George Soros

I tend to foster drama via bleakness. If I want the reader to feel sympathy for a character, I cleave the character in half, on his birthday. And then it starts raining. And he's made of sugar.

Quotes by George Saunders

Developing our sympathetic compassion is not only possible but the only reason for us to be here on earth.

Quotes by George Saunders

Abstract sympathy with the working class as an economic entity is easy, but the feeling can vanish on contact with actual members of the group, who often arrive with disturbing beliefs and powerful resentments - who might not sound or look like people urban progressives want to know.

Quotes by George Packer

When we are out of sympathy with the young, then I think our work in this world is over.

Quotes by George MacDonald

The only cure for grief is action.

Quotes by George Henry Lewes

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

George Eliot

In order that people who suffer from depression seek treatment without a second thought, the stigmas must further fall until we reach a point in time when that person with leukemia and that person with depression both receive the same level of sympathy and the same level of rigorous treatment. Both people deserve it.

Quotes by Gayle Forman

I can't understand why someone wouldn't have a degree of sympathy for people that had to flee their country, travel to try and find their home somewhere, and nobody wants them. How could you not be a little bit sympathetic?

Quotes by Gary Lineker

Despite my excellent mood, I don't have any sympathy for Romney. If he'd been a good candidate he wouldn't have had a different campaign for every month on the calendar.

Quotes by Gail Collins

I joined the Party definitely in 1923 after having already been in sympathy with it before.

Quotes by Fritz Sauckel

Sympathy with nature is part of a good person's religion.

Quotes by Francis Herbert Hedge

In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.

Quotes by Frances E. Willard

Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.

Quotes by Florence Nightingale

As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.

Quotes by Felix Dennis

This is not a country that has had a tremendous sympathy for poor people, so I think that the notion that somehow we have slipped into an era in which poor people don't matter is not quite the way our history would define it.

Quotes by Faye Wattleton

It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.

Quotes by F. H. Bradley

Deliberately seek opportunities for kindness, sympathy, and patience.

Quotes by Evelyn Underhill

Barton Fink is just too self-important as an artist to get much sympathy.

Quotes by Ethan Coen

Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality.

Quotes by Emily Dickinson

There are two classes of women in Soviet Russia. There is the professional class, which has taken the place of the nobility and includes government officials, artists, doctors, composers and writers as well as former members of the old nobility whose sympathy is with the Soviets, and also the peasant class.

Quotes by Elsa Schiaparelli

The mission of '8 Mile' is essentially to garner sympathy for a white rapper involved in an old-school shootout - a rap contest. This may be the final frontier for pop, more unbelievable than the prospect of launching a member of 'N Sync into orbit.

Quotes by Elvis Mitchell

I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.

Quotes by Edward Norton

Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery.

Quotes by Edward Gibbon

AIDS had won gays sympathy; they no longer seemed the privileged brats that the general populace had resented in the 1970s.

Quotes by Edmund White

I have a strong sympathy for all women who have struggled and suffered.

Quotes by Edmonia Lewis

Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago.

Quotes by Eamon de Valera

Fanatics end by subverting their own argument. For instance, animal rights activists have some point, and many people feel sympathy with them. But animal rights fanatics do not have a point. They are the sort of people who threaten human beings in their effort to 'defend' animals.

Quotes by Douglas Murray

I believe that we must reach our brother, never toning down our fundamental oppositions, but meeting him when he asks to be met, with a reason for the faith that is in us, as well as with a loving sympathy for them as brothers.

Quotes by Dorothy Day

Farewell, dearest friend, never to see one another any more till at the right hand of Christ.

Quotes by Donald Cargill

I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights.

Quotes by Desmond Tutu

California must be all American or all Chinese. We are resolved that it shall be American, and are prepared to make it so. May we not rely upon your sympathy and assistance?

Quotes by Denis Kearney

My friends would say I'm not the person to go to for tea, a cuddle and sympathy, because I can't deliver. But if you want something sorted out and need a champion who will stand by your side, that is me.

Quotes by Deborah Meaden

We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.

Quotes by Davy Crockett

You can't have empathy for somebody that's gone through something you haven't - because, definitionally, you can't. But you can feel for them and have sympathy for them. And that's what this country needs to practice more. It's about realizing that you do come from a different place.

Quotes by David Hogg

I spent three and a half years writing the novel 'Chang & Eng,' about the conjoined brothers for whom the term 'Siamese twins' was contrived, and when I think of these afflicted people, my only emotion is one of profound sympathy.

Quotes by Darin Strauss

There is no greater sorrow than to recall happiness in times of misery.

Dante Alighieri

Pretty much all the drivers I get on with, at least to say 'Hi' and have a conversation. But when the helmet's on, you don't care who it is. You have no sympathy: someone blows an engine in front of you, if it means you gain a position, then you're smiling.

Quotes by Daniel Ricciardo

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

Quotes by Cristiano Ronaldo

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.

Quotes by Corrie Ten Boom

Flowers grow out of dark moments.

Quotes by Corita Kent

I never ask for mercy and seek no one's sympathy.

Quotes by Conrad Black

I have a lot of sympathy for young people because I realize how disturbed I was. How would I deal with life in the future? What would I do for a living?

Quotes by Clyde Tombaugh

Any other illness, any other disease that we're faced with, there's sympathy and understanding. We get help for those. With mental illness, our go-to is to categorize them as, 'Oh, they're crazy,' to belittle the problem.

Quotes by Chris Wood

Sympathy is important, but it rings hollow if not followed by action.

Quotes by Chris Murphy

In the early days of the Russian Revolution in 1917, I was completely in sympathy with it. I felt that it established a new era in the history of the modern world. I was so overwhelmed by it that, if people made any unfriendly comment, I would vigorously defend it. If people condemned the Communist party, I would speak in its defense.

Quotes by Chiang Kai-shek

My impressions of the Russian Revolution can be divided into two periods. The first period was when I showed deep sympathy. My second period is one of disappointment. This change was the result of close observation on the spot.

Quotes by Chiang Kai-shek

I have the greatest sympathy with the growth of the socialist party. I think they understand the evils that surround us and hammer them into people's minds better than we Liberals.

Quotes by Charles Trevelyan

Labor should be recognized as entitled to consult with management in the mutual interest. Labor cannot be driven, and business cannot be successful unless the men employed in it are enthusiastic and loyal. That loyalty cannot be obtained with a big stick; it must be based upon fair dealing and sympathy.

Quotes by Charles M. Schwab

Sympathy is two hearts tugging at one load.

Quotes by Charles Henry Parkhurst

IT is mere coincidence that Cooper was born in the year which produced The Power of Sympathy and that when he died Uncle Tom's Cabin was passing through its serial stage, and yet the limits of his life mark almost exactly the first great period of American fiction.

Quotes by Carl Clinton Van Doren

Here's my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there's this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering.

Quotes by Carl Hiaasen

My guitar was loud as hell, and I had no sympathy for anybody else.

Quotes by Brownie McGhee

Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.

Quotes by Bob Feller

No matter how prepared you think you are for the death of a loved one, it still comes as a shock, and it still hurts very deeply.

Quotes by Billy Graham

People love sympathy, people love the underdog. For me, sympathy is not part of my drag aesthetic.

Quotes by Bianca Del Rio

I'm not a person who lives for sympathy.

Quotes by Bianca Del Rio

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.

Quotes by Benjamin Disraeli

Sympathy for victims is always counter-balanced by an equal and opposite feeling of resentment towards them.

Quotes by Ben Elton

The cure for sorrow is to learn something.

Quotes by Barbara Sher

For reasons historic, aesthetic, and political, we Jews are most attuned to the anti-Semitism of the far Right - and we find the most sympathy among our progressive allies when these are our attackers.

Quotes by Bari Weiss

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.

Quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

Kindliness and sympathy, fellowship and understanding, are always good, but best when they come from a distant corner of the world.

Quotes by Archibald Hill

Quotes by Anthony Storr

I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

Quotes by Anson Mount

Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction.

Quotes by Anne Sullivan

I don't want to be entertained. I don't want visuals or musicals. I don't want a vacation. I don't want to quit. I don't want sympathy. The cry of my heart is 'Just Give Me Jesus.'

Quotes by Anne Graham Lotz

Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.
