The human spirit is not dead. It lives on in secret... It has come to believed that compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
Albert Schweitzer
Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us.

Albert Einstein
True benevolence, or compassion, extends itself through the whole of existence and sympathizes with the distress of every creature capable of sensation.
Joseph Addison
So, I think thatÃs the centerpiece of morality: DonÃt lie. But to do that, you have to go a step further and find out what the truth is. You know, itÃs easy to say, ìIÃll never tell a lie.î But if you say, ìIÃm going to speak the truth,î youÃre going to have to work damn hard to find out what the truth is. The next thing is just plain, old, simple kindness: to other people, to your family. Love for other people. I think thatÃs another very important part of morality, being genuinely compassionate and concerned about the feelings and well being of other people, especially those that depend on you directly.
