When you're struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it's just as hard as what you're going through.
The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being.
Don’t judge a man until you have walked two moons in his moccasins.
Life is short and we never have enough time for the hearts of those who travel the way with us. O, be swift to love! Make haste to be kind.
Compassion is the basis of morality.
We hurt people by being too busy. Too busy to notice their needs. Too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. Too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. Too busy to care.
Success in dealing with people depends on sympathetic grasp of the other person’s viewpoint.
In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.
There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by giving a helping hand to someone in the dark.
Be comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds.
You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That’s how prayer works.
Migrants and refugees are not pawns on the chessboard of humanity.
Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.
My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don’t harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don’t teach what you do not know.
Before you abuse, criticize, and accuse, walk a mile in my shoes.
No man is an island, entire of itself.
You just need to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and then see how they feel and then you will understand why they are reacting or why they are behaving the way that they are behaving. We need to be fair.
Love everybody, serve everybody.
