I spoke of the 1000 Voices for Compassion project on Saturday, during my coffee post. This wonderful project aims to unite a thousand (or more) bloggers, with the aim of all posting about compassion on the same day – 20th of February. Click here to find out more.
In the lead up to the auspicious event (for the next three Mondays), I’m going to take the opportunity to share some of my favourite quotes on compassion.
Have a happy Monday everyone!

Awesome idea! I love it!
Thanks, Taylor 🙂 There are just so many quotes to choose from!
Yes. Absolutely. Thank you.
Thank you too 🙂
Such a simple but wonderful idea 🙂
Thanks, Callum 🙂
I like Tutu’s linkage between compassion and action. Too often, people think words are sufficient. Or a #hashtag. Nope, it isn’t.
I agree with you. Words are not enough, unless those words move others in a way that they become action itself – uniting people through the power of understanding 🙂
Nice quote and nice idea.
Is the information anywhere else. I don’t use facebook and it won’t let me see the page without an account.
Do you use Twitter? Using #1000Speak will give you access to information. The facebook page is a way for people to sign up (there’s a list). I believe there is or will be a blog and will try to dig up that information. I am also happy to add your name to the list on your behalf 🙂
Thanks – the movement is pretty extraordinary. I’m excited about the event! 😀
What a wonderful idea. So any blogger can participate? Is their a criteria or guideline in which to follow?
If you follow the link to the Facebook event or by using #1000Speak you can access the info. Any blogger is welcomed and encouragement 😀
Wonderful quote. Very true. Compassion is demanding, but something we should pursue.
I completely agree, Loni 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
That is a great quote – compassion isn’t a passive emotion.
Thanks 🙂 I like it too.
A great quote, and an amazing idea! 🙂
Thanks, Mishka 🙂
I like this. I like that you have to be prepared for action. Thanks for sharing Melissa. x
My pleasure 🙂 x
