Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.

No one has ever become poor by giving.
- Anne Frank

Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.
- Arthur Schopenhauer

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
- Pema Chodron

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
- Maya Angelou

Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.
- Hippocrates (known as the "Father of Medicine")

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
- Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

Life is unlimited -
it expands with the generosity, compassion, inventiveness, and service that you contribute.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
