More on Compassion
“The cultivation of compassion is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, if our species is to survive.”
“A woman should always challenge our respect, and never move our compassion.”
“Unfortunately, love and compassion have been omitted from too many spheres of social interaction for too long. Usually confined to family and home, their practice in public life is considered impractical, even naive. This is tragic.”
More on Empathy
“When I talk to kids, I'm really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It's almost like we're friends. Because a friend listens.”
“Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.”
“Treat each person as you would an old friend.”
