Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.
Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you’ll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone.
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
There is no greater intelligence than kindness and empathy.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
Above all, try always to be able to feel deeply any injustice committed against any person in any part of the world. It is the most beautiful quality of a revolutionary.
Leave people better than you found them.
Even small acts of kindness can make a profound difference to somebody else.
Empathy and social skills are social intelligence, the interpersonal part of emotional intelligence. That’s why they look alike.
The only time you should look down at someone, is when you are helping them up.
The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.
Why can’t we all just get along?
We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.
Stand for people. Not a product or service or metric or number. If we stand for real, living, breathing people, we will change the world.
The true price of leadership is the willingness to place the needs of others above your own. Great leaders truly care about those they are privileged to lead and understand that the true cost of the leadership privilege comes at the expense of self-interest.
A leader, first and foremost, is human. Only when we have the strength to show our vulnerability can we truly lead.
Take care of yourselves, and each other.
We are all woven together in the great web of humanity, and whatever we can do to benefit and uplift others will reflect in blessing upon ourselves.
Realize that you are not alone, that we are in this together and most importantly that there is hope.
