“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.”
Frederick Buechner
“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”
Dalai Lama
“There's harmony and inner peace to be found in following a moral compass that points in the same direction regardless of fashion or trend.”
Ted Koppel
“We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa of Calcutta
“Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.”
Albert Schweitzer
“Compassion, forgiveness, these are the real, ultimate sources of power for peace and success in life.”
Tenzin Gyatso The 14th Dalai Lama
“Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.”
