Sympathy Quotes - Page 18

• Measure your health by your sympathy with morning and spring. If there is no response in you to the awakening of nature -if the prospect of an early morning walk does not banish sleep, if the warble of the first bluebird does not thrill you -know that the morning and spring of your life are past. Thus may you feel your pulse.

• Sympathy is the first great lesson which man should learn.

But unless he learns to feel for things in which he has no personal interest, he can achieve nothing generous or noble.
