The entire world would perish, if pity were not to limit anger.

Pity costs nothin' and ain't worth nothin'.

One cannot weep for the entire world. It is beyond human strength. One must choose.

The response man has the greatest difficulty in tolerating is pity, especially when he warrants it. Hatred is a tonic, it makes one live, it inspires vengeance, but pity kills, it makes our weakness weaker.

Pity would be no more If we did not make somebody Poor; And Mercy no more could be If all were as happy as we.

There are a few things that'll move people to pity, a few, but the trouble is, when they've been used several times, they no longer work.

By compassion we make others' misery our own, and so, by relieving them, we relieve ourselves also.

A tear dries quickly, especially when it is shed for the troubles of others.

Most of our misfortunes are more supportable than the comments of our friends upon them.

Pity melts the mind to love.
