Compassion: The Bridge Between Souls - Madeleine Haskette

Have you ever noticed when you're in the presence of certain people that you feel better about yourself? Their compassionate energy has the noticeably pleasant impact of simply making you feel really good about yourself. You'll impact others with this energy of compassion as you develop your connection to intention. – Wayne Dyer

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. – Dalai Lama XIV, The Art of Happiness

Understanding and Love are not two separate things, but just one. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you cannot help but love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that can relieve the suffering of people. – Thich Nhat Hanh

We must make our homes centers of compassion and forgive endlessly. – Mother Teresa

It ill becomes us to invoke in our daily prayers the blessings of God, the Compassionate, if we in turn will not practice elementary compassion toward our fellow creatures…   I want to realize brotherhood or identity not merely with the beings called human, but I want to realize identity with all life, even with such things as crawl upon earth. – Mahatma Gandhi

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion--and where it isn't, that's where my work lies…   As we grow in our consciousness.. there will be more compassion and more love. And then.. the barriers between people.. between religions.. and between nations will begin to fall. – Ram Dass

Keep a clear eye toward life's end. Do not forget your purpose and destiny as God's creature. What you are in [It’s] sight is what you are and nothing more. Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take nothing that you have received...but only what you have given; a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage. – Francis of Assisi

Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing. – Rumi

Ernest Holmes, “Help for Today,"- We can have no understanding of Divine compassion unless we ourselves first exercise compassion. pg 54 Let us therefore light the candle of love, human kindness, forgiveness and understanding in our own soul, and let if shine brightly. pg 99 

And so it is.
