Welcome to these Compassionately Quotes of the Day from my large collection of positive, romantic, and funny quotes.

is based on only my opinions and prejudices,
and I honor all points of view and value systems,
no matter how different from my own.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and
helps us look above and over
the limiting fence of our own events,
activities and preoccupations.

can tap you quietly on the shoulder
in the midst of a holiday bustle.
If you are attentive,
you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

Apathy, indifference, not caring...

petty complaints, and idle chatter.
About those, I just don't care.
