Sympathy Quotes
-

William Shenstone

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth

Hell is wherever Love is not, and Heaven
Is Love's location. No dogmatic creed,
No austere faith based on ignoble fear
Can lead thee into realms of joy and peace.
Unless the humblest creatures on the earth
Are bettered by thy loving sympathy
Think not to find a Paradise beyond.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox

If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.
Stephen Fry

I have several close friends who are insomniacs. Over the years, I've heard their stories about being up in the middle of the night, completely awake.

Brad Feld
-
I have buckets of sympathy for the obese, often subject to cruelty, ridicule, denunciation, and contempt.
Lionel Shriver

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.
George William Russell
-
The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.
William James
-
Is he legally blind? He's the last person on earth who deserves any sympathy because people like him had no sympathy for the people they were guarding.
