Quotes about compassion

Compassion is the ability to remain open when life invites us to close down. It is not about fixing or saving, but about meeting another human being with presence, dignity, and care.

No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

Compassion is the ability to remain open. It is not about fixing or saving, but about meeting another human being with presence, dignity, and care.

Compassion quotes remind us that every person carries invisible stories - grief, hope, fear, love  - often all at once.

In a world that moves fast and judges quickly, compassion slows us down. It asks us to listen before we respond and to soften where we might otherwise harden. True compassion does not require agreement; it requires recognition.

The most meaningful compassion quotes speak to this shared human condition. They reflect the understanding that tenderness can coexist with strength, and that empathy is an active choice. When we practice compassion - toward others and ourselves - we create small moments of healing that ripple outward, one heart at a time.
