If we do not want to be pained by anybody we must not pain anybody; and how can man consider himself humane if he wants to live at the cost of others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man.
We human beings are humane in part because we can look beyond our biology.
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
One can not be just if one is not humane.
I have empathy; I am humane. I understand human misery.
I hate this idea that there are some people who have a right to express their suffering and others who don't, that there are those in this hierarchy of pain who own it more than you do.
Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.
One does not become fully human painlessly.
Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.
We cannot live, suffer or die for somebody else, for suffering is too precious to be shared.
