Feeling too much is a hell of a lot better than feeling nothing.

There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.

What you don’t realize is that the world does not need more perfection. It needs more compassion and empathy.

Empathy requires known that you know nothing at all.

One does not remember one’s own pain. It is the suffering of others that undoes us.

If it is not tempered by compassion, and empathy, reason can lead men and women into a moral void.

Real empathy is sometimes not insisting that it will be okay, but acknowledging that it is not.

People need people who show that they care.

Empathy is a special way of coming to know another and yourself.

Patience and empathy are angers mortal enemies.

If you want more kindness in the world, put some there.

Those who underestimate others are those who lack empathy.

We rise by lifting others.

Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.

Empathy is the capacity to think and feel oneself into the inner life of another person.

When a good man is hurt all who would be called good must suffer with him.

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.

The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.

Empathy is connection; it’s a ladder out of the shame hole.
