"Do not scorn pity that is the..." - Quote by J R R Tolkien

“There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

“Life is rather above the measure of us all (save for a very few perhaps). We all need literature that is above our measure--though we may not have sufficient energy for it all the time.”

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”

“There is no creature loves me;And if I die, no soul will pity me.”

“If pity is akin to love, gratitude is akin to the other thing.”

“No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.”

“Let's get loose with Compassion. Let's drown in the delicious ambience of Love.”

“Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.”

“The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.”
