"Compassion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of
character; and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to
animals cannot be a good [person]." -- Arthur Schopenhauer

"True benevolence, or compassion, extends itself through the whole of
existence and sympathises with the distress of every creature capable
of sensation." -- Joseph Addison

"The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the
interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one
another, and all involved in one another." -- Thomas Merton

"The nobler a soul is, the more objects of compassion it hath." --
Francis Bacon

"The butcher relenteth not at the bleating of the lamb; neither is the
heart of the cruel moved with distress. But the tears of the
compassionate are sweeter than dew-drops, falling from roses on the
bosom of spring." -- Akhenaton

"Do but examine your own compassionate heart, and tell me do you not
think it a breach of natural justice to want only and without
necessity to torment, much more to take away the life of any
creature?" -- John Hildrop

"The individual is capable of both great compassion and great
indifference. He has it within his means to nourish the former and
outgrow the latter." -- Norman Cousins

"Why is compassion not part of the established curriculum, an inherent
part of our education? Compassion, awe, wonder, curiosity, humility --
these are the foundation of any real civilisation, no longer the
prerogatives, the preserves of any one church, but belonging to
everyone, every child in every home in every school." -- Yehudi
Menhuin
