Compass Quotes (page 6)

Emergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job. Victor Hugo
Mother Teresa quote: "We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and..."
We do not need guns and bombs to bring peace, we need love and compassion. Mother Teresa
Imagining what it is like to be someone other than yourself is at the core of our humanity. It is the essence of compassion and the beginning of morality Ian Mcewan
I testify that when the Lord closes one important door in your life, He shows His continuing love and compassion by opening many other compensating doors through your exercise of faith.

Richard G. Scott

Sarcasm and compassion are two of the qualities that make life on Earth tolerable. Nick Hornby
Lily had no heart to lean on. Her relation with her aunt was as superficial as that of chance lodgers who pass on the stairs. But even had the two been in closer contact, it was impossible to think of Mrs. Peniston's mind as offering shelter or comprehension to such misery as Lily's. As the pain that can be told is but half a pain, so the pity that questions has little healing in its touch. What Lily craved was the darkness made by enfolding arms, the silence which is not solitutde, but... Edith Wharton
All too rarely do I hear people asking just what it is that we've done to make so many children's hearts so hard, or what collectively we might do to right their moral compass - what values we must live by. Barack Obama
Whittaker Chambers quote: "It taught me that . . . there can be no true humility and no..."
It taught me that . . . there can be no true humility and no true compassion where there is no courage. Whittaker Chambers
It is within your power to experience a crowded, loud, slow, consumer-hell-type situation as not only meaningful but sacred, on fire with the same force that lit the stars - compassion, love, the sub-surface unity of all things. Not that that mystical stuff's necessarily true: the only thing that's capital-T True is that you get to decide how you're going to try to see it. You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn't. You get to decide what to worship. David Foster Wallace
William Shakespeare quote: "Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his..."
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come. William Shakespeare
Groucho Marx quote: "Bel Air, I am convinced, was laid out by some diabolic sadist..."
Bel Air, I am convinced, was laid out by some diabolic sadist who deliberately decided not to use a compass or a surveyor. Groucho Marx
I, while the gods laugh, the world's vortex am; Maelstrm of passions in that hidden sea. Whose waves of all-time lap the coasts of me; And in small compass the dark waters cram.- I, While the Gods Laugh, the World's Vortex Am Mervyn Peake
Simone de Beauvoir quote: "One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the..."
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, and compassion Simone de Beauvoir
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring barque, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the... William Shakespeare
