It is sometimes difficult to view compassion and loving kindness as the strengths they are.

Compassion is loving others enough to say or do what is appropriate from an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome.

Compassion is no substitute for justice.

I realized a while back that I have an innate ability to be compassionate, and I saw that the strength of compassion is something that healers have and healers use.'

The human capacity for compassion is not a reflex that is triggered automatically by the presence of another living thing.

Compassion is not a popular virtue.

Compassion is the key in Islam and Buddhism and Judaism and Christianity. They are profoundly similar.

Religions have always stressed that compassion is not only central to religious life, it is the key to enlightenment and it the true test of spirituality. But there have always have been those who'd rather put easier goals, like doctrine conformity, in place.

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.
