compassion is fellow feeling or sorrow for the sufferings of another. Compassion opens the door for freedom and expands the heart.
Swami Sivananda
Compassion is like fragrant gold -- its value is inexpressible. Therefore, go among the sad and suffering; love the poor and pained with all your heart. Our greatest obligation in this world is to serve others.
Mata Amritanandamayi
Suffering is universal. You can overcome it with compassion, by freeing yourself of anger, discontent and despair…. When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help.
Thich Nhat Hanh
How can we support this life of ours with least injury to the lives around us; how can we prevent our own life adding to the suffering of the world in which we live?
Annie Besant
