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

I don't say what God is, but a name That somehow answers us when we are driven To feel and think how little we have to do With what we are.

I call it soul food, and I call it compassion food because it kind of bonds loved ones together. It kept families together for a long time.

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

I think one of the best words in the English language is 'compassion.' I think it holds everything. It holds love, it holds care... and if everybody just did something. We all make a difference.

Compassion is a call, a demand of nature, to relieve the unhappy as hunger is a natural call for food.

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

We say the name of God, but that is only habit.

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.

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