View quotes by Paula Cole

Compassion is the basis of all morality.
View quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

Certainly it is wrong to be cruel to animals and the destruction of a whole species can be a great evil. The capacity for feelings of pleasure and pain and for the form of life of which animals are capable clearly impose duties of compassion and humanity in their case. [A Theory of Justice]
View quotes by John Rawls

I believe we are still so innocent. The species are still so innocent that a person who is apt to be murdered believes that the murderer, just before he puts the final wrench on his throat, will have enough compassion to give him one sweet cup of water.
View quotes by Maya Angelou

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

View quotes by Lord Byron

One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.
View quotes by Simone De Beauvoir

I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights.

Compassion is the desire that moves the individual self to widen the scope of its self-concern to embrace the whole of the universal self.
View quotes by Arnold Toynbee

View quotes by Albert Schweitzer

I can do no other than be reverent before everything that is called life. I can do no other than to have compassion for all that is called life. That is the beginning and the foundation of all ethics.
View quotes by Albert Schweitzer

Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
View quotes by Albert Schweitzer

View quotes by Boris Pasternak
