By compassion we mean the deep feeling
that comes when we recognize our soul's reflection in another person,
when that other person's pain or joy becomes
our own. -Cindy Spring
How
far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant
of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been
all of these.
—George
