Compassion

Compassion is the ultimate and most meaningful embodiment of emotional maturity. It is through compassion that a person achieves the highest peak and deepest reach in his or her search for self-fulfillment.
~ Arthur Jersild

Compassion is the basis of morality.
~ Arnold Schopenhauer

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
~ Dali Lama

It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.
