Quotes by Compassion Buddhas have a strength which is not of this world. Their strength is totally of love... Like a rose flower or a dewdrop. Their strength is very fragile, vulnerable. Their strength is the strength of life not of death. Their power is not of that which kills; their power is of that which creates. Their power is not of violence, aggression; their power is that of compassion. Rajneesh flowercompassionrose A man of understanding, a man who understands himself and others, always feels compassion. Even if somebody is an enemy you have compassion toward him because a man of understanding can understand the viewpoint of the other also. He knows why the other feels as he feels, he knows why the other is angry, because he knows his own self, and in knowing that, he has known all others. Rajneesh compassionmotivationalmen Compassion is even more powerful than courage. Sure, with courage you can conquer a world - but only with compassion can you heal and build it. Rasheed Ogunlaru powerfulcompassionworld Whoever is full of wisdom is naturally compassionate; in fact we recognize that someone has gained spiritual wisdom by seeing their compassionate behavior. . . . Individuals and countries with power need to develop wisdom and compassion, for without these attributes, there is a danger that the power will be used to oppress and exploit others. (31) Ravi Ravindra compassionspiritualcountry All pursuits are pointless and fruitless unless and until love and compassion are found and then are the foundation and destination of all you do Rasheed Ogunlaru foundationdestinationcompassion Only when all your desires disappear does that energy become compassion, KARUNA. You cannot cultivate compassion. When you are desireless, compassion happens; your whole energy moves into compassion. And this movement is very different. Desire has a motivation in it, a goal; compassion is nonmotivated, there is no goal to it, it is simply overflowing energy. Rajneesh motivationcompassionmoving No matter how you seem to fatten on a crime, there can never be good for the bee which is bad for the hive. Ralph Waldo Emerson compassionmatterbees As you become more conscious of your cruelty, of your violence, gross and subtle, you start becoming more and more compassionate. Not that you cultivate compassion. Just by becoming aware of your cruelty, violence, ugliness... the very awareness brings new changes in you. And the energy that was involved in cruelty, in violence, starts changing. The same energy becomes purified, the same energy becomes compassion. Rajneesh violenceenergycompassion The potential possibilities of any child are the most intriguing and stimulating in all creation. Ray Lyman Wilbur compassionchristianchildren If you are angry you will share anger, if you are greedy you will share greed, if you are full of lust you will share your lust. We can share only that which we have, we cannot share that which we don't have. This has to be the fundamental thing to be remembered; hence the first step is meditation and the second step is compassion. Rajneesh angercompassionmeditation Meditation is like the moon: it transforms the energy of lust into love, anger into compassion, greed into sharing, aggressiveness into receptivity, ego into humbleness. Rajneesh angermooncompassion Forgiveness is the nature of my art in general. It's expressing love and compassion, the kinds of things that don't make sense in any other context other than emotive expression. Raymond Pettibon compassionexpressionart A highly worthwhile read with prescriptive examples for authentic sustainability and social justice initiatives at companies - not all about the brand, the celebrity or corporate self-interest (about the book 'Compassion, Inc.'). Rebecca Aguilar compassionselfbook Mum always taught us that compassion and kindness were the most important things in life, that it was better to be kind than right. Rebecca Gibney motivationcompassionkindness Our humanist community should be thinking more about demonstrating the fundamental truth that goodness requires neither God nor the belief in God by organizing together as a community to do good. Less money spent on billboards that just make us feel good about ourselves and more on soup kitchens and organized visits to the sick and dying. Rebecca Goldstein soup-kitchenscompassionthinking To be awake and harmonious creates the possibility for ecstasy to happen. Ecstasy means the ultimate joy, inexpressible; no words are adequate to say anything about it. And when one has attained to ecstasy, when one has known the ultimate peak of joy, compassion comes as a consequence. When you have that joy, you like to share it; you cannot avoid sharing, sharing is inevitable. Rajneesh compassionjoymean Life is short but there is always time for courtesy. Ralph Waldo Emerson compassionkindnesslife Whenever it happens it is never late; whenever it happens it is always early. The happening is so great that you cannot claim it for yourself. You cannot say: `I have earned it.` The happening is so great that it is always through grace and not through effort. It happens through effortlessness. Whenever it happens, you know well that it is through compassion, grace, that it has happened. It has nothing to do with you or your earning Rajneesh effortcompassiongrace Most great figures in world history are remembered for their compassion.
