Sympathy Quotes

Sympathy is a virtue much cultivated by those who are morally uplifted by the sufferings and misfortunes of others. (Oscar Hammling, b. 1890-)

As man laughs with those that laugh, so he weeps with those that weep; if thou wish wish me to weep, thou must first shed tears thyself; then thy sorrows will touch me. (Horace, 65-8 b.c.)

It is better to be generous than just. It is sometimes better to sympathize instead of trying to understand. (Pierre Lecompte de Nouy, 1883-1947)
