Notable Quotable 264
Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It's the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
- Frederick Buechner
When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom that profit loses.
- Shirley Chisholm
These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness, and worship without awareness.
- Anthony de Mello
If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.
- Francis Of Assisi
Compassion is the chief law of human existence.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Compassion is an unstable emotion. It needs to be translated into action, or it withers.
- Susan Sontag
It's a little embarrassing that after 45 years of research & study, the best advice I can give people is to be a little kinder to each other.
- Aldous Huxley
The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.
-Albert Schweitzer
Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism.
- Hubert H. Humphrey
The endless cycle of idea and action,
Endless invention, endless experiment,
Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;
Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;
Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.
All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,
All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.
Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuries
Bring us farther from God and nearer to the Dust.
- T.S. Eliot
