The Test of Morality

Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
- Colossians 3:12

Compassion is the basis of morality.
- Arthur Schopenhauer

The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The worst sin toward our fellow creatures
is not to hate them,
but to be indifferent to them:
that's the essence of inhumanity.
- George Bernard Shaw

It is my choice to care deeply about others.
No kindness is too small to be important -
the smile to the bank teller,
the sincere "thank you" for all kindnesses received,
the reassuring hand on the shoulder of a loved one or friend.
There is compassion in selfless generosity,
but there is also compassion in heartfelt empathy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
