Compassion Quotes

The customs of the Jews are base and abominable and owe their persistence to their depravity. Jews are extremely loyal to one another, always ready to show compassion, but towards every other people they feel only hate and enimity.

In the East the wilderness has no evil connotation; it is thought of as an expression of the unity and harmony of the universe.

And we are never farther from it than when we are holding a grudge.
