If we only practice compassion at the mind level, we run a great risk of our compassion being just talk. As we know, talk is cheap. To develop true compassion we have to put our money where our mouth is.

Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them. You will want to change them when you realise that each thought creates according to its own nature. Therefore, start now to think only those thoughts that will bring you health and happiness.
If there is a difference of opinion between the heart and head, then follow the heart.
-Swami Vivekananda
So long as we are brave enough to accept the consequences of our actions, no one can take away our freedom of choice.
-Mike Norton
Good is that which elevates the mind and evil is that which degrades the mind. Social virtue and vice are temporal entities; they have nothing to do with your relationship with the Supreme.
Since we have taken human birth, doing our karma is the only ''worship''
and honouring duties and responsibilities, the only "meditation". Separately
worshiping or meditation is performed by those, who have turned their back on
duties.
-Deep Trivedi
We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.
-Paulo Coelho
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind.
...when I think of you it's with tears, because no one else has such delicate hands that can reach into my soul and calm my fears...
