Courage
With courage you will take risks. Hopefully you will have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.
Compassion
We are not better than the meanest on earth. While the is a lower class we are in it, while there is a criminal element we are in it, while there is a lower class we are in it, while there is a soul in prison we are not free.
Courage
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.
Compassion
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
Courage
If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
Compassion
All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.
Courage
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
Compassion
....when we finally know we are dying, and all other sentient beings are dying with us, we start to have a burning, almost heartbreaking sense of the fragility and preciousness of each moment and each being, and from this can grow a deep, clear, limitless compassion for all beings.
Courage and compassion
"The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible."
