Steve Maraboli quote: “It is only with true love and compassion that we can begin to mend what is broken in the world.”

“It seems to me that
there are more hearts broken in the world
that can't be mended,
left unattended.
What do we do?
What do we do?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

Song lyrics

“That's what true love is. It cannot be broken, it cannot be chipped away, it's eternal, everlasting, and it can weather any storm.”

Alyson Nöel book Dark Flame

“In love, we can find many differences. It is not always in line, sometimes not on the same page, often with different views and contradictory opinions. But in the integrity of true love, we can always accept these differences. True love will never lose empathy, care, concern and compassion.”

Titon Rahmawan

“True compassion is not about giving or taking. True compassion is doing just what is needed.”

Sadhguru (1957) Yogi, mystic, visionary and humanitarian

Pebbles of Wisdom

“The world is full of broken people. Splints, casts, miracle drugs, and time can't mend fractured hearts, wounded hearts, wounded minds, torn spirits.”

“Indeed when we trace it all back to its origin we find at the beginning of this unhappy story a man who was only an emperor and wished to be something more. He would have ruled the world but has only meddled with it; and his folly has brought misery to millions, and there lies his broken dream on the broken earth.”

Lord Dunsany (1878–1957) Irish writer and dramatist
