Quotes by Susan Bysiewicz

As Christians, our compassion is simply a response to the love that God has already shown us.

Quotes by S. J. Perelman

Quotes by Robert Baden-Powell

True Scouts are the best friends of animals, for from living in the woods and wilds, and practising observation and tracking, they get to know more than other people about the ways and habits of birds and animals, and therefore they understand them and are more in sympathy with them.

Quotes by Robert Baden-Powell

Most of my younger Native American friends are not in any way looking for sympathy, and they're not looking to lay guilt on anybody. They have their dignity, and they do what they do.

Quotes by Robbie Robertson

Quotes by Pliny the Elder

One often calms one's grief by recounting it.

Quotes by Pierre Corneille

Authors are not a special case, deserving of more sympathy than many other groups. We are a particular case of a general degradation of the quality of life, and we are not going to stop pointing it out, because we speak for many other groups as well.

I didn't feel any remorse or sympathy if I injured a rival. I went over the top a few times but I never broke anyone's leg.

Quotes by Peter Storey

In any business, the more you learn, the more sympathetic you can be to other people's positions.

Quotes by Peter Asher

I have huge sympathy for Prince William. He was born into a deeply unenviable life that most of us would abhor, and what's more, he lost his mother at an early age.

Quotes by Penny Junor

Motherhood is at its best when the tender chords of sympathy have been touched.

Quotes by Paul P. Harris

I am really drawn to damaged characters, and I have a lot of sympathy for them. Making those complicated characters empathetic is something to strive for. It's too easy to create a good guy or a good girl.

Quotes by Paul Haggis

Any sympathy won for Aileen Wuornos based on a lie is not sympathy at all. The question is, can we have sympathy for the circumstances of someone's life? That's what I was interested in.

Quotes by Ovid

Quotes by Morrie Schwartz

After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.

Quotes by Morrie Schwartz

A creative element is surely present in all great systems, and it does not seem possible that all sympathy or fundamental attitudes of will can be entirely eliminated from any human philosophy.

Quotes by Morris Raphael Cohen

Quotes by Morgan Neville

If you suppress grief too much, it can well redouble.

Quotes by Michael Gove

There's something very beautiful and compelling about someone who has ambition and someone who knows what they want, but it can get a little frustrating at times, so I understand that. I have sympathy for that.

Quotes by Michael Ealy

Quotes by Meister Eckhart

You will find that the woman who is really kind to dogs is always one who has failed to inspire sympathy in men.

Quotes by Max Beerbohm

The truth is that at the White House and in Congress, you are as likely to find sympathy for animal issues among Republicans as among Democrats.

Quotes by Matthew Scully

To the factory farmer, in contrast to the traditional farmer with his sense of honor and obligation, the animals are 'production units,' and accorded all the sympathy that term suggests.

Quotes by Matthew Scully

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Okay, so, sometimes in life, I can be a score-keeper - someone who keeps track of what he gives and what he gets in return. An annoying quality, to say the least, and I'm sure my wife has your sympathy, but it's made me highly attuned to when and where credit is due.

Quotes by Mark Feuerstein

Having a baby is a disaster for your career. I don't think there's any sympathy.

Quotes by Mariella Frostrup

Pierre Curie came to see me and showed a simple and sincere sympathy with my student life. Soon he caught the habit of speaking to me of his dream of an existence consecrated entirely to scientific research, and he asked me to share that life.

Quotes by Marie Curie

It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.

Quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

Quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.

Quotes by Marcel Proust

The more sympathy you give, the less you need.

Quotes by Malcolm Forbes

The comic novels I did when I was in my 20s had a harder edge - less sympathy for people. Or a sympathy that was harder to detect: Characters' foibles and obsessive bents were unrelenting, like caricatures.

Quotes by Lydia Millet

What is the meaning of 'gossip?' Doesn't it originate with sympathy, an interest in one's neighbor, degenerating into idle curiosity and love of tattling? Which is worse, this habit, or keeping one's self so absorbed intellectually as to forget the sufferings and cares of others, to lose sympathy through having too much to think about?

Quotes by Lucy Larcom

Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.

Quotes by Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Children, even infants, are capable of sympathy. But only after adolescence are we capable of compassion.

Quotes by Louise J. Kaplan

The dew of compassion is a tear.

Quotes by Lord Byron

I learnt pity, sympathy, and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.

Quotes by Lionel Blue

Sympathy is charming, but it does not make up for pain.

Quotes by Lillie Langtry

There's a certain amount of sympathy here for the Bush administration's problem, which is they would like to get rid of Saddam Hussein and they would like to have the Kurds autonomous.

Quotes by Les Aspin

I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.

Quotes by Lech Walesa

Jamal Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood operative, and so I don't really feel sympathy for him.

Quotes by Laura Loomer

I think that Jamal Khashoggi was an enemy of the state, and I don't really think that it's appropriate for American media institutions to be, you know, trying to generate sympathy. He's not a hero.

Quotes by Laura Loomer

You have to have sympathy for and an empathy with a character in order to play them.

Quotes by Laura Carmichael

I sometimes get that wonderful sympathy between me and the audience, telling me I've reached their hearts. And when I do, the thrill is mine.

Quotes by Kate Smith

Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.

Quotes by Juliette Gordon Low

I was brought up to be sympathetic toward others.

Quotes by Joyce Carol Oates

I will indulge my sorrows, and give way to all the pangs and fury of despair.

Quotes by Joseph Addison

Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell.

Quotes by Joni Mitchell

Extremist perspectives win sympathy and recruits because they offer narratives that claim to identify deep injustices and enemies.

Quotes by Jonas Gahr Store

In fiction, imaginary people become realer to us than any named celebrity glimpsed in a series of rumored events, whose causes and subtler ramifications must remain in the dark. An invented figure like Anna Karenina or Emma Bovary emerges fully into the light of understanding, which brings with it identification, sympathy and pity.

Quotes by John Updike

I am a believer in the evolutionary process, and yet I have sympathy for the friends of mine who are creationists. I don't find the positions incompatible.

Quotes by John Rhys-Davies

Unfair discrimination exists whether we like it or not; I wouldn't have married a gum-chewing vegetarian. Ultimately, we'll help the people we discriminate against if we try to understand more about them; genetics will lead to a world where there is a sympathy for the underdog.

Quotes by John Kendrew

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy, to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.

Quotes by John Burns

According to your sympathy, you will take pleasure in your own happiness or in the happiness of other people; but it is always your own happiness you seek.

Quotes by John Buchanan Robinson

Sympathy relies on a common experience. If you're clumsy, you might have sympathy for others who tend to bump into things. Empathy, on the other hand, is the ability to understand another person's feelings even if you've never experienced them yourself.
