Don't expect any sympathy from anybody.	105
Mark Feuerstein	Okay, so, sometimes in life, I can be a score-keeper - someone who keeps track of what he gives and what he gets in return. An annoying quality, to say the least, and I'm sure my wife has your sympathy, but it's made me highly attuned to when and where credit is due.	105
John Burns	I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy, to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.	105

Morrie Schwartz	Grieve and mourn for yourself not once or twice, but again and again.	108

F. H. Bradley	It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.	110
Samantha Morton	When you've been raised in care, rap music isn't just about guns and sexism. They're talking about real things you can hang on to, problems of identity that you have sympathy with. It's not just about the music, with rap: when I was in care, it meant a whole lot more than that.	110
Alan Hovhaness	It's hard for me to think of others because I'm not particularly in sympathy with the music of this century.	110

Alphonse de Lamartine	Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.	111

Harriet Beecher Stowe	Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good.	112
Robert Gottlieb	The man Dickens, whom the world at large thought it knew, stood for all the Victorian virtues - probity, kindness, hard work, sympathy for the down-trodden, the sanctity of domestic life - even as his novels exposed the violence, hypocrisy, greed, and cruelty of the Victorian age.	112
Hjalmar Schacht	But what you could perhaps do with in these days is a word of most sincere sympathy. Your movement is carried internally by so strong a truth and necessity that victory in one form or another cannot elude you for long.	112
Tom Perrotta	I don't really distinguish between sympathy and honesty when I'm writing. The two go together - I'm interested in inhabiting my characters, seeing the world through their eyes.	112

Aeschylus	There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.	113

Harold Bloom	Criticism in the universities, I'll have to admit, has entered a phase where I am totally out of sympathy with 95% of what goes on. It's Stalinism without Stalin.	113

Gary Ackerman	Whether rich people make money or lose money, they get no sympathy from the public.	113

Florence Nightingale	Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.	115
Marie Curie	Pierre Curie came to see me and showed a simple and sincere sympathy with my student life. Soon he caught the habit of speaking to me of his dream of an existence consecrated entirely to scientific research, and he asked me to share that life.	115
Chiang Kai-shek	My impressions of the Russian Revolution can be divided into two periods. The first period was when I showed deep sympathy. My second period is one of disappointment. This change was the result of close observation on the spot.	115
Irving Babbitt	The humanitarian lays stress almost solely upon breadth of knowledge and sympathy.	115

Ann Landers	People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.	116
Elaine Pagels	I have sympathy for anyone who finds consolation anywhere we can. And many people do find it in religious tradition as it has been. I mean, I love much of that tradition. But somehow, that just didn't speak to me in the way that it does to some.	116
Eamon de Valera	Since this war began our sympathy has gone out to all the suffering people who have been dragged into it. Further hundreds of millions have become involved since I spoke at Limerick fortnight ago.	116

David Chalmers	Although I'm Australian, I find myself much more in sympathy with the Austrian version!	116
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo	Sonia Gandhi and her husband have always been persons I look at with a lot of respect. Of course, one of the reasons we look at India with a lot of sympathy and enthusiasm is Sonia Gandhi. Now she is Indian, not Italian, but she will always represent a myth for Italians.	116
Aneurin Bevan	I would rather be kept alive in the efficient if cold altruism of a large hospital than expire in a gush of warm sympathy in a small one.	117
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross	I say to people who care for people who are dying, if you really love that person and want to help them, be with them when their end comes close. Sit with them - you don't even have to talk. You don't have to do anything but really be there with them.	117
George Soros	If the terrorists have the sympathy of people, it's much harder to find them. So we need people on our side, and that leads us to be responsible leaders of the world, show some concern with the problems.	117
Lionel Blue	I learnt pity, sympathy, and what it was like to be at the other end of the stick. Such lessons can't be learnt in lecture halls.	117
Rory Stewart	As a Scot, I instinctively feel a sympathy towards a culture which is based on generosity. It's very refreshing. Afghans think they're the best people in the world and their country is the best place in the world, and it's strange because you go there and it doesn't really look like it, and yet they assume that everybody else envies them.	117
William Wordsworth	That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.	118
Niall Ferguson	Something that's seldom appreciated about me is that I am in sympathy with a great deal of what Marx wrote, except that I'm on the side of the bourgeoisie.	118

Jerome K. Jerome	It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.	118
Jim Brown	AI don't make a big thing out of my race. If you try to preach, people give you a little sympathy and then they want to get out of the way. So you don't preach; you tell the story.	118
Morris Raphael Cohen	A creative element is surely present in all great systems, and it does not seem possible that all sympathy or fundamental attitudes of will can be entirely eliminated from any human philosophy.	118
Seth Green	There's no greater way to gain an audience's sympathy than by being unfortunate.	118

Thomas Mallon	The late Tom Wicker's biography of Nixon, called 'One of Us,' is really quite good: you see the biographer discovering dimensions of sympathy for his subject that he hadn't expected to feel.	119
Thomas Moore	Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.	119
Bob Feller	Sympathy is something that shouldn't be bestowed upon the Yankees. Apparently it angers them.	119

Lucy Larcom	What is the meaning of 'gossip?' Doesn't it originate with sympathy, an interest in one's neighbor, degenerating into idle curiosity and love of tattling? Which is worse, this habit, or keeping one's self so absorbed intellectually as to forget the sufferings and cares of others, to lose sympathy through having too much to think about?	119
Stephen Rodrick	There are times when a sports figure doesn't deserve sympathy.	119
John Buchanan Robinson	According to your sympathy, you will take pleasure in your own happiness or in the happiness of other people; but it is always your own happiness you seek.	119
George Saunders	I tend to foster drama via bleakness. If I want the reader to feel sympathy for a character, I cleave the character in half, on his birthday. And then it starts raining. And he's made of sugar.	120
Paul Harris	Motherhood is at its best when the tender chords of sympathy have been touched.	120
Desmond Tutu	I am not interested in picking up crumbs of compassion thrown from the table of someone who considers himself my master. I want the full menu of rights.	121

Marlo Thomas	I think loss of loved ones is the hardest blow in life.	121
George William Russell	Any relations in a social order will endure, if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy which qualifies life for immortality.	121
Saint Augustine	What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.	122
Eric Schlosser	One might expect that the families of murder victims would be showered with sympathy and support, embraced by their communities. But in reality they are far more likely to feel isolated, fearful, and ashamed, overwhelmed by grief and guilt, angry at the criminal-justice system, and shunned by their old friends.	122
Harry Browne	Like many people, most Libertarians feel empathy and sympathy for less fortunate people. But they know you can't have perfection in a world of limited resources.	122
Irving Babbitt	The true humanist maintains a just balance between sympathy and selection.	122
Michael Eric Dyson	Obviously, Jay-Z is one of the greatest entertainers of the world today. Not only is he a remarkable rhetorical genius, he's also a man of deep sympathy and empathy for those who are lost and vulnerable, but especially under-educated youth of all cultures and stripes.	122
Marcel Proust	Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind.	123
Tim Kaine	I'm not going to give a courtesy gift to a person who's going to win, and I'm not going to give a sympathy gift to a person who's going to lose.	123
Gayle Forman	In order that people who suffer from depression seek treatment without a second thought, the stigmas must further fall until we reach a point in time when that person with leukemia and that person with depression both receive the same level of sympathy and the same level of rigorous treatment. Both people deserve it.	123
Conrad Black	I never ask for mercy and seek no one's sympathy.	124
William Butler Yeats	Come away, O human child: To the waters and the wild with a fairy, hand in hand, For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.	125
Tim Crouch	It's important to find characters that share sympathy with a young audience, not just in the story but their role in the world.	125
Malcolm Forbes	The more sympathy you give, the less you need.	126
Nina Easton	To avoid becoming chronically unemployed, people need more than platitudes offering sympathy. Career reinvention requires encouragement and guidance.	201
Chiang Kai-shek	Our late Leader, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, with his universal sympathy for all oppressed and his profound understanding of Jesus' revolutionary spirit of love and sacrifice, carried on his revolutionary work for forty years and brought about at last the liberation of the Chinese people.	203
Edward Gibbon	Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery.	203

Confucius	We should feel sorrow, but not sink under its oppression.	205
Ovid	Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good.	205
Washington Irving	The natural effect of sorrow over the dead is to refine and elevate the mind.	206
Henry Cabot Lodge	Recognition of belligerency as an expression of sympathy is all very well.	207
Samuel Taylor Coleridge	Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.	208
Orison Swett Marden	Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.	209
Jillian Michaels	I'm not sympathetic. I have zero sympathy. I understand about emotional eating, I understand how painful the process can be, but I also understand that change is possible.	209
Max Beerbohm	You will find that the woman who is really kind to dogs is always one who has failed to inspire sympathy in men.	209
W. E. B. Du Bois	Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools - intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it - this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life.	211
Joseph Addison	I will indulge my sorrows, and give way to all the pangs and fury of despair.	211
Richard Corliss	Fess up, 'Hunger Games' fans: Does anyone care about Peeta or find him attractive? He's the Ron Weasley of the series: he gets points for callow valor and sympathy for his run of bad luck, but he remains a pasty, earnest bore.	211
Stephen Rodrick	NFL fans have less sympathy for fallen players than the Romans had for blind Christians.	213
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow	There is no grief like the grief that does not speak.	214
Martin O'Malley	Justice must be done in investigating the tragic death of Mr. Freddie Gray. His family deserves our deepest sympathy and respect for their loss, and our admiration for their courage in calling us, as a city, to act as our better selves.	214
Henry Rollins	It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.	215
Alfred Lord Tennyson	A sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier times.	215
John Rhys-Davies	I am a believer in the evolutionary process, and yet I have sympathy for the friends of mine who are creationists. I don't find the positions incompatible.	215
Pierre Corneille	One often calms one's grief by recounting it.	216
Terry Pratchett	I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.	217
Marcus Tullius Cicero	The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.	217
Robert Dallek	In 1800, in the first interparty contest, the Federalists warned that presidential candidate Thomas Jefferson, because of his sympathy expressed at the outset of the French Revolution, was 'the son of a half-breed Indian squaw' who would put opponents under the guillotine.	217
Voltaire	Tears are the silent language of grief.	218
Robert Baden-Powell	The knowledge that we have brother scouts working in the same uniform, to the same ends, in the same way, in all corners of the Empire, cannot but make scouts proud of their brotherhood, and cannot fail to bring them into closer sympathy.	218
Dirk Benedict	If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.	218
Richard M. Nixon	We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy.	220
William Blake	Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.	220
Woodrow Wilson	Interest does not tie nations together; it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.	220
Rick Riordan	I have a great deal of sympathy for reluctant readers because I was one. I would do anything to avoid reading. In my case, it wasn't until I was 13 and discovered the 'Lord of the Rings' that I learned to love reading.	221
Samuel Taylor Coleridge	All sympathy not consistent with acknowledged virtue is but disguised selfishness.	221
Mariella Frostrup	Having a baby is a disaster for your career. I don't think there's any sympathy.	221
Robbie Robertson	Most of my younger Native American friends are not in any way looking for sympathy, and they're not looking to lay guilt on anybody. They have their dignity, and they do what they do.	221
Anne Hathaway	I damaged my health during 'Les Mis,' which I didn't want to mention in case it seemed like I was courting sympathy.	222
Carl Hiaasen	Here's my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there's this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering.	223
Terry Eagleton	It is in Rousseau's writing above all that history begins to turn from upper-class honour to middle-class humanitarianism. Pity, sympathy and compassion lie at the centre of his moral vision. Values associated with the feminine begin to infiltrate social existence as a whole, rather than being confined to the domestic sphere.	223
John Irving	I take people very seriously. People are all I take seriously, in fact. Therefore, I have nothing but sympathy for how people behave - and nothing but laughter to console them with.	224
Walt Whitman	And whoever walks a furlong without sympathy walks to his own funeral drest in his shroud.	225
Robert Baden-Powell	True Scouts are the best friends of animals, for from living in the woods and wilds, and practising observation and tracking, they get to know more than other people about the ways and habits of birds and animals, and therefore they understand them and are more in sympathy with them.	225
Tom Ford	September 11th was a moment when America had the sympathy of the world.	225
Havelock Ellis	If men and women are to understand each other, to enter into each other's nature with mutual sympathy, and to become capable of genuine comradeship, the foundation must be laid in youth.	302
Alex Rodriguez	It's a game that just takes so much out of you. Every aspect of your life has to be very narrow, very focused. Everything else has to go away. And because of that, I think it's obviously not healthy. The last thing I'm looking for is sympathy.	302
Joshua Oppenheimer	In documentary filmmaking, there's a tradition of telling stories about victims. We often do that from a very patronizing place, but mostly we do it from a very selfish place, to reassure ourselves that our lives are in sympathy and solidarity with the victims.	302
Justin Cartwright	Personally, I have detested Gordon Brown since the moment in 2001 when he tried to make cheap capital out of the Laura Spence affair; as his troubles have piled up, I have felt no sympathy for him at all.	302
George M. Church	I'm a champion for personal differences. I have no sympathy for drug companies that can't figure out how to make personalized medicine. We could generalize that to 'All society should be much more personalized.'	303
Rachel McAdams	With a film, you just don't have time to build sympathy for the character. But I think we're moving away from that in TV. With TV, you have a little more leeway to allow them to rise and fall and rise again and be much more complicated beings.	303
Charles M. Schwab	Labor should be recognized as entitled to consult with management in the mutual interest. Labor cannot be driven, and business cannot be successful unless the men employed in it are enthusiastic and loyal. That loyalty cannot be obtained with a big stick; it must be based upon fair dealing and sympathy.	304
John Burroughs	Women are about the best lovers of nature, after all; at least of nature in her milder and more familiar forms. The feminine character, the feminine perceptions, intuitions, delicacy, sympathy, quickness, are more responsive to natural forms and influences than is the masculine mind.	304
James D. Watson	Ultimately, we'll help the people we discriminate against if we try to understand more about them; genetics will lead to a world where there is a sympathy for the underdog.	304
John Lydon	It's no good being nice and young and naive. There's no good in that at all. You've got to do it all yourself, and you've gotta learn quick. And you can't look for sympathy either.	305
Julianne Moore	My upbringing has given me sympathy for the idea of isolation and what it is to be a new person in the room, where everyone else has some amount of familiarity and comfort.	305
Darin Strauss	I spent three and a half years writing the novel 'Chang & Eng,' about the conjoined brothers for whom the term 'Siamese twins' was contrived, and when I think of these afflicted people, my only emotion is one of profound sympathy.	307
Khalil Gibran	When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.	308
Edmund White	AIDS had won gays sympathy; they no longer seemed the privileged brats that the general populace had resented in the 1970s.	308
Henri Frederic Amiel	Sympathy is the first condition of criticism.	308
Julian Fellowes	A lot of actors find it impossible not to ask for the audience's sympathy. They have a need to twinkle.	309
Marcus Tullius Cicero	It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.	311
William Shakespeare	When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.	312
Jeff Duncan	I have sympathy for the people in Syria, and I do think there should be a worldwide response, but we should act cautiously.	312
Joyce Carol Oates	I was brought up to be sympathetic toward others.	313
Hugh Jackman	I like the Rolling Stones for karaoke. 'Sympathy For The Devil' is a great one.	314
Arthur Schopenhauer	Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.	315
Eric Holder	Those who peacefully gather to express sympathy for the family of Michael Brown must have their rights respected at all times. And journalists must not be harassed or prevented from covering a story that needs to be told.	317
Alan Rickman	I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.	319
William James	The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.	321
Felix Dennis	As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.	323
Oscar Wilde	There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better.	324
Chuck Palahniuk	We're so much more likely to feel sympathy for an animal than another person; thus, the best fiction uses animals to define truly humane behavior.	324
Robert Green Ingersoll	Character is made of duty and love and sympathy, and, above all, of living and working for others.	324
Victor Hugo	Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.	326
Angela Merkel	We Germans have a special responsibility to be alert, sensitive, and aware of what we did during the Nazi era and about lasting damage caused in other countries. I've got tremendous sympathy for that.	326
Siri Hustvedt	It's hard to penetrate characters who are very cut off and lack empathy and to do it with sympathy. It's so easy to make a damaged character repugnant.	406
Gail Collins	Despite my excellent mood, I don't have any sympathy for Romney. If he'd been a good candidate he wouldn't have had a different campaign for every month on the calendar.	409
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe	Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.	412
Lord Byron	The dew of compassion is a tear.	412
Arnold Schwarzenegger	I'm not looking for sympathy at all.	415
Dick Cavett	I felt bad when George Bush was booed. But only briefly. My sympathy for that man has a half-life of about four seconds.	415
William Godwin	Sympathy is one of the principles most widely rooted in our nature: we rejoice to see ourselves reflected in another; and, perversely enough, we sometimes have a secret pleasure in seeing the sin which dwells in ourselves existing under a deformed and monstrous aspect in another.	416
Martin Luther King, Jr.	Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.	417
P. J. O'Rourke	Staying married may have long-term benefits. You can elicit much more sympathy from friends over a bad marriage than you ever can from a good divorce.	418
George Eliot	Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.	419
George Packer	Abstract sympathy with the working class as an economic entity is easy, but the feeling can vanish on contact with actual members of the group, who often arrive with disturbing beliefs and powerful resentments - who might not sound or look like people urban progressives want to know.	421
Maajid Nawaz	Increased sympathy for an Islamist cause, lack of integration, and the absence of acceptance of Muslims into British society makes it harder for Muslims to challenge Islamism and tough for non-Muslims to understand it.	422
Lucius Annaeus Seneca	Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.	426
Jillian Michaels	The irony is that I'm actually a very empathetic person, but I don't believe in sympathy at all.	502
Benjamin Disraeli	Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.	518
Henry David Thoreau	It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.	601
John Updike	In fiction, imaginary people become realer to us than any named celebrity glimpsed in a series of rumored events, whose causes and subtler ramifications must remain in the dark. An invented figure like Anna Karenina or Emma Bovary emerges fully into the light of understanding, which brings with it identification, sympathy and pity.	604
Robert Green Ingersoll	What is it that distinguishes you and me from the lower animals - from the beasts? More, I say, than anything else, human sympathy - human sympathy.	705
Rush Limbaugh	I am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don't think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people. I think people love him because of his race and feel sorry for him, object of sympathy. I think people feel he's a victim, he portrays himself as a victim of America; he gets sympathy that way.	714
Oscar Wilde	If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.	723
Donald Trump	I have embraced crying mothers who have lost their children because our politicians put their personal agendas before the national good. I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence, no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens.	724
George Bernard Shaw	The Nazi movement is in many respects one which has my warmest sympathy.	813
