The way to change others’ minds is with affection, and not anger.
Compassion is the radicalism of our time.
We can reject everything else: religion, ideology, all received wisdom. But we cannot escape the necessity of love and compassion. . . . This, then, is my true religion, my simple faith.
Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.
Compassion is not religious business, it is human business; it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival.
You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them—for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.
