consideration

...that the doctor being himself a mortal man, should be diligent and tender in relieving his suffering patients, inasmuch as he himself must one day be a like sufferer.

You can be yourself without pursuing yourself. Have you ever seen a dog chase his own tail? He just runs in circles.

Value those who give you constructive criticism, because without them doing so, you will never reach the peak of what you are do.

Choose criticism wisely, it might help you improve some elements of what you do.

Have you ever considered another type of loneliness; a good and healthy, happy loneliness?

Zoe leaned closer to Ruth, nearly nose to nose. __f they were made from better stuff, they would have pretended the fault was theirs. They would have made a moment of it--a pretty moment.

It's easy to make a mess when you're not the one who has to clean it up.

What if today you gave yourself permission to be outrageously kind? What if you extended as much good will and kindness as you can possibly muster to every person you meet? And what if you did it with no thought of reward? I'm sure of one thing: it will be a day you will never regret.

Always remember to give yourself the kindness, compassion and consideration you give to others.

We must delight in each other, make others conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work, our community as members of the same body.

If we simply imagined that everyone who crossed our path was living out his or her very last day on Earth, we might treat people as kindly as we ought to each day they lived.

The great delusion of men everywhere, that their disregard for other people makes them interesting

How convinced are you that man was created in the image of God when you can't see the image of God?

It is better to doubt that a concept is stupidly flying under your head than profoundly flying over your head.

The foundation of morality on the human sentiments of what is acceptable behavior versus repulsive behavior has always made morals susceptible to change. Much of what was repulsive 100 years ago is normal today, and - although it may be a slippery slope - what is repulsive today is possible to be normal 100 years into tomorrow; the human standard has always been but to push the envelope. In this way, all generations are linked, and one can only hope that every extremist, self-proclaimed progressive is considering this ultimate 'Utopia' to which his kindness will lead at the end of the chain.

Christ delves far beyond the means of superficiality, not simply because of his immaculate love, but also because he considers the distinct cases of each individual rather than withholding a broadened perception by use of stereotypes.

Those who live as though God sets the rules are not going by their own rules. That is the self-sacrifice, or selflessness, that peace more often than not requires. Those who insist on going by their own rules cannot make that sacrifice. They are the steady adherents of (global) conflict because they are forever fighting both themselves and others to do whatever they think that they want to do.

We are all born rude. No infant has ever appeared yet with the grace to understand how inconsiderate it is to disturb others in the middle of the night.
