“Compassion is the essence of Jesus' teaching, and indeed of the teaching of all great spiritual figures from Mohammed to Isaiah, from Lao Tzu to Chief Seattle. Yet compassion has been sentimentalized and severed from its relationship to justice-making and celebration. Creation Spirituality links the struggle for justice with the yearning for mysticism.”
Matthew Fox
“I would rather learn from one bird how to sing than to teach 10,000 stars how not to dance.”
E. E. Cummings
“If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.”
James Matthew Barrie
“I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.”
Lao Tzu
“I admire the fact that the central core of Buddhist teaching involves mindfulness and loving kindness and compassion.”
Ron Reagan
“And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.”
Bible
“When the evil works of man crush the body, heart, mind, and spirit all around the world, let us not find ourselves passionately in pursuit of destroying the evil as much as we passionately pursue being the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus that give of ourselves to provide a place of refuge and healing to the hurting.”
