" To be compassionate requires great strength of character. It is never weakness. The people who stand for compassion and love often do so at the risk of their own lives. They are the people we admire most who remain true to themselves at all costs and true to the highest principles of human decency in the face of unspeakable cruelty. "

― Laurence Overmire , The One Idea That Saves The World: A Call to Conscience and A Call to Action
