Don't seem to be on the lookout for crows, else you'll set other people
watching.--_George Eliot._
~Sympathy.~--Surely, surely, the only true knowledge of our fellow-man is
that which enables us to feel with him--which gives us a fine ear for
the heart-pulses that are beating under the mere clothes of circumstance
and opinion.--_George Eliot._
Next to love, sympathy is the divinest passion of the human
heart.--_Burke._
Outward things don't give, they draw out. You find in them what you
bring to them. A cathedral makes only the devotional feel devotional.
Scenery refines only the fine-minded.--_Charles Buxton._
Of all the virtues necessary to the completion of the perfect man, there
is none to be more delicately implied and less ostentatiously vaunted
than that of exquisite feeling or universal
benevolence.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
I would go fifty miles on foot to kiss the hand of that man whose
generous heart will give up the reins of his imagination into his
author's hands; be pleased, he knows not why, and cares not
wherefore.--_Sterne._
