"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.

"When we develop our ability to love in one realm, we simultaneously nourish our ability in others, as long as we remain open to the flow of insight and compassion."
"Loving-kindness challenges those states that tend to arise when we think of ourselves as isolated from everyone else-fear, a sense of deficiency, alienation, loneliness."
