compassion

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

I would rather make mistakes in kindness and compassion than work miracles in unkindness and hardness. A Gift for God: Prayers and Meditations
That's what I consider true generosity: You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
