It is the Level-headed Man, the Calm Man, of Good Judgement and cool nerves, of Great sympathy and love, who does good work and so does good to himself. Swami Vivekananda
She left me, offended at my want of sympathy, and thinking, no doubt, that I envied her. I did not - at least, I firmly believed I did not. Anne Bronte

Woman's fatal weakness is to desire sympathy and comprehension.--"Wanda Ouida
The woman who first gives life, light, and form to our shadowy conceptions of beauty, fills a void in our spiritual nature that has remained unknown to us till she appeared. Sympathies that lie too deep for words, too deep almost for thoughts, are touched, at such times, by other charms than those which the senses feel and which the resources of expression can realise. The mystery which underlies the beauty of women is never raised above the reach of all expression until it has claimed... Wilkie Collins
I have a heart to be stabbed in or shot in, I have no doubt, and, of course, if it ceased to beat, I would cease to be. But you know what I mean. I have no softness there, no—sympathy—sentiment—nonsense. Charles Dickens
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "Human sympathy has its limits, and we were contented to let..."
Human sympathy has its limits, and we were contented to let all their tragic arguments fade with the city lights behind. F. Scott Fitzgerald
his soul was sensitive without being enthusiastic: it was too languid to thrill out of self-consciousness into passionate delight; it went on fluttering in the swampy ground where it was hatched, thinking of its wings and never flying. His experience was of that pitiable kind which shrinks from pity, and fears most of all that is should be known: it was that proud narrow sensitiveness which has not mass enough to spare for transformation into sympathy, and quivers threadlike in small currents... George Eliot
My heart was fashioned to be susceptible of love and sympathy, and when wrenched by misery to vice and hatred, it did not endure the violence of the change without torture such as you cannot even imagine. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Why did dogs make one want to cry? There was something so quiet and hopeless about their sympathy. Jasper, knowing something was wrong, as dogs always do. Trunks being packed. Cars being brought to the door. Dogs standing with drooping tails, dejected eyes. Wandering back to their baskets in the hall when the sound of the car dies away. Daphne du Maurier
Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit other qualities connected with the social instincts which in us would be called moral. Charles Darwin
It is the storyteller's task to elicit sympathy and a measure of understanding for those who lie outside the boundaries of State approval. Graham Greene
The indescribable innocence and beneficence of Nature-of sun and wind and rain, of summer and winter-such health, such cheer, they afford forever! and such sympathy have they ever with our race, that all Nature would be affected, and the sun’s brightness fade, and the winds would sigh humanely, and the clouds rain tears, and the woods shed their leaves and put on mourning in midsummer, if anyone should ever for a just cause grieve. Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not... Henry David Thoreau
The inclination to share thoughts with one another is probably an original impulse of our nature. If in pain I wish to let you know it, and ask your sympathy and assistance; and my pleasurable emotions also, I wish to communicate to, and share with you. Abraham Lincoln
