More on Character
“Trials teach us what we are.”
“Those who make virtue their profession are the ruin of virtue.”
“That the outer man is a picture of the inner, and the face an expression and revelation of the whole character, is a presumption likely enough in itself, and therefore a safe one to go on; borne out as it is by the fact that people are always anxious to see anyone who has made himself famous. Photography offers the most complete satisfaction of our curiosity.”
More on Compassion
“No one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens but its lowest ones.”
“Whoever is in the distress can call me. I will come running wherever they are.”
“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.”
