Compassion naturally creates a positive atmosphere, and as a result you feel peaceful and content.

Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give.

More important than being loved, therefore, is to love.

I'm a believer that the more I'm giving, the happier I am, and the more beautiful my exterior will be.

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.

Compassion isn't morose; it's something replenishing and opening; that's why it makes us happy.

I love love, and I love life. I love. I just love. It's just great. It's the most enduring element we have is love.

Children will not remember you for the material things you provided but for the feeling that you cherished them.
