“Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace.” -Albert Schweitzer

“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” – Jack Kornfield

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”

 – Dalai Lama
