“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” 

~Pema Chödrön

“It’s important that what thoughts you are feeding into your mind because your thoughts create your belief and experiences. You have positive thoughts and you have negative ones too. Nurture your mind with positive thoughts: kindness, empathy, compassion, peace, love, joy, humility, generosity, etc. The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.” 

~Roy T. Bennett

“The simplest acts of kindness 

are by far more powerful 

than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.” 

~Mahatma Gandhi

“I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I cant change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.” 

~Charles de Lint

“True compassion is more 

than flinging a coin to a beggar; 

it comes to see that an edifice 

which produces beggars 

needs restructuring.” 

~Martin Luther King Jr.
