Being and Doing – 7 May – Compassion
THE more worthy any soul is, the larger is its compassion.
THE more worthy any soul is, the larger is its compassion.
Look thou with pity on a brother’s fall,
But dwell not with stern anger on his fault;
It is the narrow-minded fastidious person who suffers most from uncongeniality.
ONE of her chief characteristics was her habit of always seeing the best in people, and more than that, of drawing forth whatever was best in them.
She thought that there was much needed doing in the world, and criticism of our neighbours, and of the natural order might wait, at all events, till the critic’s own character and conduct were free from blame
As I am, so I see.
IT is wonderful how men change to a changed heart.
SHE never found fault with you, never implied
Your wrong by her right;
A FEW more smiles of silent sympathy, a few more tender words, a little more restraint on temper, may make all the difference between happiness and half-happiness to those I live with.
THE great secret of help is encouragement.
