Quote

Compassion may be defined as the capacity to be attentive to the experience of others, to wish the best for others, and to sense what will truly serve others.

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

Compassion enables you to reach to the heavens and look through the heart of God.

The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.

This idea of compassion comes to us because we're made in the image of God, who is ultimately the compassionate one.

True compassion means not only feeling another's pain but also being moved to help relieve it.

Compassion is the key to living outside the confines of your lower self.

Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.

Developing our capacity for compassion makes it possible for us to help others in a more skillful and effective way. And compassion helps us as well.
