Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.

As human beings, we each have a responsibility to care for humanity. Expressing concern for others brings inner strength and deep satisfaction. As social animals, human beings need friendship. But friendship doesn't come from wealth and power. It comes from showing compassion and concern for others.

The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival.

I believe that at every level of society - familial, tribal, national and international - the key to a happier and more successful world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

Science is driven by compassion and empathy often to alleviate the pains of humanity.
