Compassion Quotes

Olivia Wilde
Authentic Christians are persons who stand apart from others. Their character seems deeper, their ideas fresher, their spirit softer, their courage greater, their leadership stronger, their concerns wider, their compassion more genuine and their convictions more concrete.

Bill Hybels

Madeleine L'Engle
