Sympathizing and selfish people are alike, both given to tears.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.
Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either.
People are so selfish. Those you help are the ones who turn against you.
Pity addresses the perceived suffering, not the whole individual.
Sympathy is charming, but it does not make up for pain.
Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.
I'm a big believer in the idea that while we are the sum of our tears, we are also the product of our choices in how we deal with those tears.
Everyone suffers some injustice in life, and what better motivation than to help others not suffer in the same way.
Sympathy for victims is always counter-balanced by an equal and opposite feeling of resentment towards them.
Only those who spread treachery, fire, and death out of hatred for the prosperity of others are undeserving of pity.
