Pity: Quotations from Burning Words

We must watch over pious impressions, and cultivate them, or they will never become vigorous and enduring.— W, E. CHANNING

Think of a woman by the side of a dying sister, or a sick child, or a sorrowing friend, or a broken-hearted and brokenspirited man, without a word of heaven in her mouth - without so much as the ability to whisper "Our Father," or even to point her finger hopefully towards the stars.— J. G. HOLLAND

More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us.— GEORGE ELIOT
