The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's good to focus on the universal suffering that goes on in any war. Whatever the right and wrongs of the war, there is always universal suffering.
Today continuing poverty and distress are a deeper and more important cause of international tensions, of the conditions that can produce war, than previously.
Rather than turning away from the staggering scale and depth of misery caused by war, we must strive to develop our capacity to empathize and feel the sufferings of others.
There is a humanitarian impulse that one aspires to and there are days when one doesn't do it very well.
If you never know hardship, you can't really support people around you.
I'm not a humanitarian. I'm a hell-raiser.
The true humanist maintains a just balance between sympathy and selection.
One cannot be deeply responsive to the world without being saddened very often.
If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
A remarkable feature of the humanitarian movement, on both its sentimental and utilitarian sides, has been its preoccupation with the lot of the masses.
