Compassion Quotes

Quotes About Compassion 

  • A kind and compassionate act is often its own reward. --William John Bennett
  • Christianity demands a level of caring that transcends human inclinations. Erwin W. Lutzer (1941- )
  • Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity. --Pema Chodron
  • Compassion begins with attention. --Daniel Goleman
  • Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural. --John Berger, English Artist (1926-  )
  • Compassion is not a popular virtue. --Karen Armstrong, English Writer (1944-  )
  • Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too. --Frederick Buechner, American Clergyman (1926-  )
  • Compassion means justice. Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-c. 1327)
  • Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation. --Henry Ward Beecher, American Clergyman (1813-1887)

  • Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out. It will wear well and will be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away. --Abraham Lincoln
  • Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate. Compassion is hard because it requires the inner disposition to go with others to the place where they are weak, vulnerable, lonely, and broken. But this is not our spontaneous response to suffering. What we desire most is to do away with suffering by fleeing from it or finding a quick cure for it. Henri J. M. Nouwen
  • Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Cooperation evokes love and when we bow, others bend. This creates harmony. unknown
  • Man may dismiss compassion from his heart, but God will never. William Cowper (1731-1800)
  • Man's sorrows often will not let me sleep. Henriette Roland Holst (1869-1952)

  • Regardless of how we define Christ's separation from the world, one fact is clear: he did not separate himself from human beings and their needs. Nor did he limit his concern to the spiritual part of man's personality. Erwin W. Lutzer (1941- )
  • Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these. Bob Goddard

Compassion in the Small Things | MWM
Compassion Is The Heart Of Leadership = The heart of leadership is compassion. Compassion is empathy in action. It's not just about feeling for someone's struggle, it's about doing something to support them in it.

Less of a Feeling = Look beyond yourself, focus on others. Put yourself into someone else's shoes and show them how much you care. Invest, connect, and make a difference in someones life today!

1 Corinthians 2:3 And so far as I myself was concerned, I came to you in conscious feebleness and in fear and in deep anxiety.

Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...

Security and Assurance

 "Your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well what you need and he will give it to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to."  Matthew 6:33 (LB)

 "Your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another."

 Many of us act like spiritual orphans. We forget that we have a heavenly Father who already knows what we need.  He's just waiting for us to ask.  He will provide.  Does God take care of little birds?  They don't worry. Human beings are the only things in all creation that worry. Everything else trusts the heavenly Father and creator to care for their needs.

 "He gives food to those who trust Him.  He never forgets His promises." (Psalm 111:5 LB) 

 How much do you trust God?  Worry is really just a form of atheism.  Every time you worry, you're saying, "It all depends on me." That's just not in the Bible.

 You must trust God with your life.  Today's verse says, "If you give him first place."  Why?  Because as long as you love anything more than God that thing or person or item will become a source of anxiety. 

 "Don't put your hope in wealth which is so uncertain. But put your hope in God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." (1 Timothy 6:17) You must always remember -- your security is not in your bank account; your security is in the Lord. If God turns off one faucet, he can turn on another.  If he turns off one job, he can turn on another.  You must seek the Lord. 

 The book of Romans says God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for you to pay for your salvation.  If God loves you enough to send His own son to die for you, don't you think He loves you enough to take care of your bills?  Don't you realize that any other problem is minor by comparison? He solved your biggest problem when he saved you. The bottom line is this:  Are you going to believe God to do what He says He will do?  And are you going to believe him enough to do what he tells you to do?

    Be Someone Who Sees the Best in Others | MWM
    Believe In The Best Of Others = When you believe in the best of others, you bring out the best of others. Alternatively, if you believe the worst of others, you get that. Believe in the best of others, and bring them to be their and your best.
    In his newest book, The Charismatic Leader, John C. Maxwell shares 21 practical skills to help you connect authentically, communicate effectively, and lead with greater impact. Whether you lead a team, speak on stage, or mentor one-on-one—this book equips you to win hearts and move people.




    The All or Nothing Myth | MWM
    Leadership Is Never All Or Nothing = The all or nothing mindset says that if I can't get to the top, then I won't even try. By having an all or nothing attitude you are saying you will only do your job and nothing more, and this can hurt your leadership career. To avoid this way of thinking, don’t wait for the job promotion you want to reach your next position. Do the job you want before you get it, leadership is never all or nothing.


    Do You Live to Serve? | MWM
    https://youtu.be/u4F_KZnuPQw
    Live Your Life To Serve Others = When you are one step ahead of others and have someone right there to help you along the way, it gives you and others the opportunity to serve. Always be there for others, serve them, and support them. 
    #Servanthood



    Place People Above Your Own Agenda | MWM
    Put Others First = John Maxwell’s new book, High Road Leadership, discusses how high-road leaders set themselves apart from people who travel the middle or low road. High-road leaders are servant leaders. This means they place others above their own agenda and personal needs. Are you a servant leader?
    #ServantLeadership



    Serve Others to See Them at Their Best
    https://youtu.be/HnYBby0wDrY
    Great Leaders Always Serve Well. = Great customer service has become a rarity in companies today, but it matters almost as much as the quality of the product. Great service makes mediocre products better, it improves difficult situations, and can transform an angry customer into a loyal one by making them feel understood. The idea of service comes from servant. Leaders are meant to serve others to be effective. Bring back servanthood and make service your top priority.




    One Thing You Can Do To Impact Others for Life | MWM
    Live To Serve = When you are one step ahead of others and have someone right there to help you along the way, it gives you and others the opportunity to serve. Always be there for others, serve them, and support them. 
    One Thing You Can Do To Impact Others for Life = Live to serve others. Find out what others need and what they want, and be there to serve them. Be the person who makes their day.

    One Man Discovers How to Succeed by Serving Others
    Serve Others! = Become invaluable by being a good teammate. Value others’ needs, and learn to serve others. Become the person that makes the people around you better. How can you serve others today and become invaluable?


    You Are Where You Are Because of You Ability to Serve
    We Have A Purpose = When you get anxious, remember you are where you are because there is a unique way that you are meant to serve. Ask yourself, “How am I meant to serve in this situation?” We all are here for a purpose and have something to share that can be of service to others.



    https://youtu.be/RNqf__IodHo

    The Greatest Purpose= It is all about serving people and adding value to them. Is there anything greater? 

    Being A Servant Leader = When you think of leadership, think of servant leadership. By putting others before you and serving those around you, you can become a better leader.

    Preparation Makes the Extraordinary Look Effortless | MWM
    Preparation makes the extraordinary look effortless. When the moment comes, you won't rise to the occasion; you'll fall to the level of your preparation.



    All’s Well That Begins Well
    Spend Time In Preparation = To be a successful writer you need to spend good time in preparation. All is well that begins well. What we do on the front end determines how good things will be on the back end. When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare. 


    Care For Your Audience And Prepare = You can’t deliver what you have not developed. How you prepare shows how much you care. When you prepare extensively, it shows you care for your audience. If you wing it, you may still be successful, but if you work for it instead, you will rise even higher and set yourself apart as a communicator.
