They [the people under you] may desire help, but more than anything else they desire sympathy. Don't make the mistake of turning such men down with the statement that you have troubles of your own.

His morality is all sympathy, just what morality should be

Human sympathy has its limits, and we were contented to let all their tragic arguments fade with the city lights behind.

A brother's sufferings claim a brother's pity.

His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion.

He who has no sympathy with myths has no sympathy with men.

Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it.

What I cannot love, I overlook.

A forgiving God would be the noblest work of man. We accepted as proven that each stage of civilization creates its own God, and that as man ascends and becomes better his conception of the Unknown likewise improves. Thereafter we all became less theological, but I am sure more truly religious.

As bread is the first need of the body, so forgiveness for the soul.

For this reason, let us put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and long-suffering. Let us prove our Christlikeness, not only in our zeal for saving the lost, but also openly in all our interactions with the brethren, by being tolerant and forgiving one another, even as the Lord forgave us

He has learnt that in putting on the Lord Jesus he has put on the heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and long-suffering. Jesus has taken the place of self, and it is not an impossibility to forgive as Jesus.
