If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.

We must each lead a way of life with self-awareness and compassion, to do as much as we can. Then, whatever happens we will have no regrets.

Judgments prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Love is saying, “I feel differently” instead of “you’re wrong.”

When you live on a round planet, there’s no choosing sides.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of your attention.

Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.

We choose our destiny in the way we treat others.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Be gentle first with yourself if you wish to be gentle with others.

We may have all come in different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

Genuine sincerity opens people’s hearts, while manipulation causes them to close.

Compassion and happiness are not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength.

The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character.
