Compassion Quotes
I believe man will not merely endure, he will prevail...because he has a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
William Faulkner
When a person is in a miserable situation, then, yes, it is difficult to develop genuine compassion toward others. That's why I find it difficult to say to poor people, "Please have compassion toward millionaires." That's not easy.
Dalai Lama
There is no substitute for love and caring and compassion and human beings helping one another.
Hillary Clinton
Once you encourage the thought of compassion in your mind, once it becomes active, then your attitude towards others changes automatically.

Dalai Lama
What would your prayers look like if you believed that the cross really was the measure of God's compassion for someone?
J. D. Greear
It's very rare to be in a state where there's nothing in, where you have no attachment to any idea or concept about yourself. In that state you've immediately raised the mind of compassion, because if nothing is in, everything is in, and you are now free to experience yourself as the world.
Bernie Glassman
For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again.
Paula Cole
Compassion is of little value if it just remains an idea. It must motivate how we respond to others and be reflective in all our thoughts and actions
Dalai Lama
Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.
Dalai Lama
I really feel that some people neglect and overlook compassion because they associate it with religion. Of course, everyone is free to choose whether they pay religion any regard, but to neglect compassion is a mistake because it is the source of our own well-being.
Dalai Lama
Compassion--that's the one thing no machine ever had. Maybe it's the one thing that keeps man ahead of them.
D. C. Fontana
Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
Dalai Lama
I often tease young people about their concern for how they look; more important is inner beauty - compassion, affection and respect.
Dalai Lama
When the only bond between close friends is attachment, then even a minor issue may cause one's projections to change. As soon as our projections change, the attachment disappears, because that attachment was based solely on projection and expectation. It is possible to have compassion without attachment, and similarly, to have anger without hatred.
Dalai Lama
Our compassion for one another, and our individual actions to help, is what makes our nation - and our community - great.
