I preach that odd defiant melancholy that sees the dreadful loneliness of the human soul and the pitiful disaster of human life as ever redeemable and redeemed by compassion, friendship and love. ~ John Derbyshire
Compassion Friendship quotes by John Derbyshire
Everyone is overcoming something, be gentle. ~ Nikki Rowe
Compassion Friendship quotes by Nikki Rowe
Consistent affection for his characters is what sets Tolstoy apart. Flaubert is equally "objective," he says, but "Flaubert's objectivity is charged with irritability and Tolstoy's with affection. For Flaubert everyone and everything is somehow at fault. For Tolstoy everyone and everything has a saving grace."
"By loving people without cause, he discovered indubitable causes for loving them." It would be hard to find a more succinct description of the chief work of the Holy Spirit in the human heart. ~ Lionel Trilling
Compassion Friendship quotes by Lionel Trilling
We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven't done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold! After all that's life, learning to hold on and learning to let go. ~ Chanda Kaushik
Compassion Friendship quotes by Chanda Kaushik
He is a principled man, and compassionate, someone who will remind himself of your best qualities while struggling to forgive your worst. In short, he is a friend. ~ Tracy Guzeman
Compassion Friendship quotes by Tracy Guzeman
What Caul liked most about Tom was his kindness. Kindness was not valued back in Grimsby, where the older boys were encouraged to torment the younger ones, who would grow up to torment another batch of youngsters in their turn. "Good practice for life," Uncle said. "Hard knocks, that's all the world's about!" But maybe Uncle had never met anyone like Tom, who was kind to other people and seemed to expect nothing more than kindness in return. ~ Philip Reeve
Compassion Friendship quotes by Philip Reeve
There's something so quietly contained in the moments when one reaches their hand out to support your tragedy.
It's hardly ever spoken about, but the feeling of belonging to somewhere, or someone for a split second, gives you enough power to carry on a few more steps.
When the world is full of compassionate people like this, the world will know Unconditional Love. ~ Nikki Rowe
Compassion Friendship quotes by Nikki Rowe
And then it hit me -
I don't have to participate in these toxic conversations.
But if I choose to, I can set a different example.
I can bring love to the moment, regardless of the response.
I can choose to be kind, no matter what.
My power lives in my love. ~ Scott Stabile
Compassion Friendship quotes by Scott Stabile
Life is too short, and sometimes brutal,
and in the end we have only each other...
Nothing else matters. ~ William Donelson
Compassion Friendship quotes by William Donelson
True friends may only speak several times a year and visit even less. But when life's challenges leave one of them vulnerable and in need of compassion, time and distance are no obstacles. ~ Shane Eric Mathias
Compassion Friendship quotes by Shane Eric Mathias
Many people close themselves off from the world when they are under pressure. That is understandable. I have gone through periods when I didn't want to meet people because I didn't feel good about my situation in life and that made my life even more stressful. Remind yourself often about how much of an impact compassion and friendship can have on your life. You need to get out there, be compassionate and share your time and your life with your friends and other people that need your support. It's worth it on every level. ~ Gudjon Bergmann
Compassion Friendship quotes by Gudjon Bergmann
Politics of Friendship is, in other words, only a book between covers. For the real text, you must enter the classroom, put yourself to school, as a preview of the formation of collectivities. A single "teacher's" "students," flung out into the world and time, is, incidentally, a real-world example of the precarious continuity of a Marxism "to come," aligned with grassroots counterglobalizing activism in the global South today, with little resemblance to those varieties of "Little Britain" leftism that can take on board the binary opposition of identity politics and humanism, shifting gears as the occasion requires. ~ Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
Compassion Friendship quotes by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak
Polls show that most people in the world favor humbler, more compassionate solutions to our common problems. Not only favor them but, resolving to love in a more complete and final way, try to put them into action. A society based on universal compassion is not just our only hope; it is an evolutionary imperative. ~ Marc Ian Barasch
Compassion Friendship quotes by Marc Ian Barasch
I had all the characteristics of a human being - flesh, blood, skin, hair - but my depersonalization was so intense, had gone so deep, that my normal ability to feel compassion had been eradicated, the victim of a slow, purposeful erasure. I was simply imitating reality, a rough resemblance of a human being, with only a dim corner of my mind functioning ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Compassion Friendship quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
Like all solitary persons he had invested friendship with a divine glamour: he imagined that the people he passed on the street, laughing together and embracing when they parted, the people who dined together with so many smiles, you will scarcely believe me, but he imagined that they were extracting from all that congeniality great store of satisfaction. ~ Thornton Wilder
Compassion Friendship quotes by Thornton Wilder
Insistence on truth can come into play when one party practices untruth or injustice. Only then can love be tested. True friendship is put to the test only when one party disregards the obligation of friendship. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Compassion Friendship quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
The best things in life are free. And it is important never to lose sight of that. So look around you. Wherever you see friendship, loyalty, laughter, and love ... there is your treasure. ~ Neale Donald Walsch
Compassion Friendship quotes by Neale Donald Walsch
We are advertis'd by our loving friends. ~ William Shakespeare
Compassion Friendship quotes by William Shakespeare
So by the time the morning came, Odysseus and I were indeed friends, as Odysseus had promised we would be. Or let me put it another way: I myself had developed friendly feelings towards him - more than that, loving and passionate ones - and he behaved as if he reciprocated them. Which is not quite the same thing. ~ Margaret Atwood
Compassion Friendship quotes by Margaret Atwood
I'm laughing at you, you're laughing at me. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Compassion Friendship quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Thinking we are only supposed to have loving & compassionate feelings can be a terrible obstacle to spiritual practice. ~ Sharon Salzberg
Compassion Friendship quotes by Sharon Salzberg
And while we stand with conviction and courage, we must live with compassion. Amid a world with massive social needs around us, ranging from desperate poverty and orphan crises and millions of girls being trafficked for sex, to the degradation of marriage and the abortion of babies, we need to speak and act with selfless love on all of these issues. ~ David Platt
Compassion Friendship quotes by David Platt
You can have compassion without forgiving. There are many ways to move on, and pretending to feel a certain way isn't one of them. ~ Lori Gottlieb
Compassion Friendship quotes by Lori Gottlieb
Conjugal love, or the friendship of spouses, can persist even after sexual desires have weakened, withered, and disappeared. ~ Mortimer Adler
Compassion Friendship quotes by Mortimer Adler
There are people you meet that light the darkest corners of your mind. They don't ask you questions. They don't intimidate you. They just look at you and they smile. They smile because they know what it feels like to have been where you are or because they have this inner ability to understand where you are coming from. They don't hold your hand. They don't hug you. They don't tell you it's going to be okay or shower you with words of love. They give you some of their time and a bit of their presence. And something only few people really master:
To listen genuinely to what you have to say. ~ Malak El Halabi
Compassion Friendship quotes by Malak El Halabi
Alain Badiou was once seated amongst the public in a room where I was delivering a talk, when his cellphone (which, to add insult to injury, was mine
I had lent it to him) all of a sudden started to ring. Instead of turning it off, he gently interrupted me and asked me if I could talk more softly, so that he could hear his interlocutor more clearly ... If this was not an act of true friendship, I do not know what friendship is. So, this book is dedicated to Alain Badiou. ~ Slavoj Zizek
Compassion Friendship quotes by Slavoj Zizek
My tendency is to want to say to the person, "Do you understand why I feel this way?" I usually do say that. And sometimes it doesn't go well. By this I mean we hit an impasse again. Not that I need to hear exactly what I want to hear, but I need to know I am heard. Those moments make for a better friendship. But I can't let it go. For good or bad. ~ Claudia Rankine
Compassion Friendship quotes by Claudia Rankine
Build me up and I with you. For we are more one than two. ~ Deborah Day
Compassion Friendship quotes by Deborah Day
I don't think there's any reason in journalism not to approach stories we cover with humility, empathy, compassion, and intellectual openness. I mean, I think those are just important human traits. I don't think that precludes scrutiny, negativity, where it's appropriate. ~ David Gregory
Compassion Friendship quotes by David Gregory
The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship. ~ Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
Compassion Friendship quotes by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing
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
Compassion Friendship quotes by Anthony De Mello
The fact that millions of people use the term "morality" as a synonym for religious dogmatism, racism, sexism, or other failures of insight and compassion should not oblige us to merely accept their terminology until the end of time. ~ Sam Harris
Compassion Friendship quotes by Sam Harris
If the years have taught me one thing it's that those who care are always scarce. Those who genuinely care; not the acquaintances, false friends or those with similar aspirations. The few who seek your company, the souls who would plainly step off the world for you. Once you resolve to ignore them, only regret will follow. ~ Darrell Drake
Compassion Friendship quotes by Darrell Drake
A businessman is the only man who is forever apologizing for his occupation. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Compassion Friendship quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
Friendship multiplies joy and divides sorrow. ~ Nicky Gumbel
Compassion Friendship quotes by Nicky Gumbel
People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other. ~ Lisa See
Compassion Friendship quotes by Lisa See
How the hell do you sum up your sister in three minutes? She's your twin and your polar opposite. She's your constant companion and your competition. She's your best friend and the biggest bitch in the world. She's everything you wish you could be and everything you wish you weren't. ~ M. Molly Backes
Compassion Friendship quotes by M. Molly Backes
Friendship is the underlying element, the common denominator of every relationship. ~ Shahla Khan
Compassion Friendship quotes by Shahla Khan
With determination, it is possible to block out the negative things and enjoy the positive ones, despite the cons. Most importantly, it is possible to dance through everything pernicious. ~ Sarah Todd Hammer
Compassion Friendship quotes by Sarah Todd Hammer
Ben, if you get pee in my brand-new car, I am going to cut your balls off."
Still peeing, Ben looks over at me smirking. "You´re gonna need a hell of a big knife, bro. ~ John Green
Compassion Friendship quotes by John Green
I want to know what it is to build the foundation of the friendship for real, to have my best friend and not because we're just intimate, but because we're mentally intimate. So I'm waiting for that person to come into my life. ~ LisaRaye McCoy-Misick
Compassion Friendship quotes by LisaRaye McCoy-Misick
A child miseducated is a child lost. ~ John F. Kennedy
Compassion Friendship quotes by John F. Kennedy
Friends are like chocolates when you taste it sometimes seem sweet but sometime it suddenly melts ~ Rida Noor
Compassion Friendship quotes by Rida Noor
The conversation was mesmerizing, not for its content but for the cadences of the talk, the rhythm we fell into when we were alone, now as before. Every conversation between friends or lovers creates its own easy or awkward rhythms, hidden talk that runs like a subterranean river under even the most banal exchange. ~ Robert Charles Wilson
Compassion Friendship quotes by Robert Charles Wilson
You are not just the drop in the ocean. You are the mighty ocean in the drop. ~ Rumi
Compassion Friendship quotes by Rumi
There are different kinds of love, Sarah. I feel one kind of love for your father. A special kind. Another kind for Warren. And still a different kind for you children.' She smiled at me. 'Heaven rue the day we can't feel love for one another. I wouldn't want to live in such a world, would you? ~ Ann Rinaldi
Compassion Friendship quotes by Ann Rinaldi
I miss your silent stature, your avoided days of disaster, your present state of distress.
I'm cinnamon, cloves and fire, you are the rested cedarwood of desire. ~ Coco J. Ginger
Compassion Friendship quotes by Coco J. Ginger
I was thinking not very long ago about the difference between the people we "grew up" with vs. the people we're "growing old" with - not always being one and the same - and how time (and the memories we forge together) really does strengthen pretty much all of our relationships/friendships (whether they had started on the right foot or not). And I guess what I've mostly learned (by moving to NZ especially) is that the more Significant people you have in your life, the more 'manageable' the idea of loss, losing a loved-one, can become - not because you can replace them (obviously you can't) or because they're interchangeable (no one is), but because like a foundation to a house the more pillars you have (people you love) holding it up (loving you) the more solid/resilient you become - and from there, I find you're better equipped to overcome whatever life throws your way. That said time does pass us by very quickly. I find it much more noticeable through our growing kids than ever before. ~ Kim Dallmeier
Compassion Friendship quotes by Kim Dallmeier
The only lifestyle I'm promoting is the lifestyle of love and friendship. The lifestyle of music, and joy, and fashion. So whoever wants to come and get part of that lifestyle, we accept anybody. ~ Adam Lambert
Compassion Friendship quotes by Adam Lambert
A friend is someone who inspires, who challenges, who sends you in search of some truer sense of yourself.. ~ Steve Lopez
