Why is it that one can look at a lion or a planet or an owl or at someone’s finger as long as one pleases, but looking into the eyes of another person is, if prolonged past a second, a perilous affair? -Walker Percy

How far you go in life depends on being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of these.   -George Washington Carver

Karuna (KUH-roo-na) noun

  Loving compassion.

From Sanskrit karuna (compassion).

“Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living beings, we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will want to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna, compassion, which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness and its causes for all.”  
–Suresh Jindal; Interdependence of All Living Beings; The Times of India

He had the rare quality of not only loving but respecting childhood — its

innocence, its keen sense of justice, its passionate and yet sensitive

affections. -Dinah Maria Mulock Craik

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her hands through it once a day.   For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;  never throw out anyone.  Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. – Audrey Hepburn
