Stephen Schwartz Quotes About Compassion
-
When hard times come, the greatest danger does not necessarily lie in the circumstances we face, but rather in the way we treat ourselves at the time. Nothing is more dangerous than self-hate. Nothing makes it more difficult to heal or to find the grace of peace than self-attack and the agony of self-doubt.

I have learned that human beings are not searching for philosophies, even though it may seem that way sometimes. We are searching for something we can trust.

What supports us is a force, an energy, a vortex of love that expresses through us as warmth, creativity, service, and compassion.
