- I am the son of a small and far-away nation and the other laureates have all come from different countries from all over the world and we all were equally received here with signs of sympathy.
- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi on Sympathy
- I believe that we must reach our brother, never toning down our fundamental oppositions, but meeting him when he asks to be met, with a reason for the faith that is in us, as well as with a loving sympathy for them as brothers.
- Dorothy Day on Sympathy
- I belong to a nation which over the past centuries has experienced many hardships and reverses. The world reacted with silence or with mere sympathy when Polish frontiers were crossed by invading armies and the sovereign state had to succumb to brutal force.
- Lech Walesa on Sympathy
- I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them, knowing as I do, the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life.
- Major Taylor on Sympathy
- I didn't feel any remorse or sympathy if I injured a rival. I went over the top a few times but I never broke anyone's leg.
- Peter Storey on Sympathy
- I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.
- Terry Prachett on Sympathy
- I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.
- Anson Mount on Sympathy
- 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.
- Tom Perrotta on Sympathy
- I don't think it's an incredibly radical premise to try and have sympathy for someone who has made a mistake.
- Joe Cornish on Sympathy
- I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.
- Alex Ferguson on Sympathy
- I have a lot of sympathy for young people because I realize how disturbed I was. How would I deal with life in the future? What would I do for a living?
- Clyde Tombaugh on Sympathy
- I have a theory because I was being beaten up a lot by people outside of school, it was almost like if I could make myself sick enough they'd take sympathy on me.
- Daniel Johns on Sympathy
- I have great sympathy for people that are infertile, but a life is not something you can give away.
- Mary Beth Whitehead on Sympathy
- I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I'm better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me, and those that don't.
- Alton Brown on Sympathy
- I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
- Agatha Christie on Sympathy
- I have sympathy for young people, for their growing pains, but I balk when these growing pains are pushed into the foreground, when you make these young people the only vehicles of life's wisdom.
- Wislawa Szymborska on Sympathy
- I have the greatest sympathy with the growth of the socialist party. I think they understand the evils that surround us and hammer them into people's minds better than we Liberals.
- Charles Trevelyan on Sympathy
- I have to express sympathy from the bottom of my heart to those people who were taken as wartime comfort women. As a human being, I would like to express my sympathies, and also as prime minister of Japan I need to apologize to them.
- Shinzo Abe on Sympathy
- I have to have a character worth caring about. I tend not to start writing books about people I don't have a lot of sympathy for because I'm just going to be with them too long.
- Richard Russo on Sympathy
- I joined the Party definitely in 1923 after having already been in sympathy with it before.
- Fritz Sauckel on Sympathy
- 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.

- Hugh Jackman on Sympathy
- I never ask for mercy and seek no one's sympathy.
- Conrad Black on Sympathy
- I sometimes get that wonderful sympathy between me and the audience, telling me I've reached their hearts. And when I do, the thrill is mine.
- Kate Smith on Sympathy
- 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.
- John Irving on Sympathy
- 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.
- George Saunders on Sympathy
- I think loss of loved ones is the hardest blow in life.
- Marlo Thomas on Sympathy
- I think we lost a great deal of sympathy and support with the way in which the crisis was handled, most importantly I think when we appeared to be grasping for too much at one time instead of identifying our priorities in a much more responsible fashion.
- Billy Tauzin on Sympathy
- I very much dislike the intolerance and moralism of many Christians, and feel more sympathy with Honest Doubters than with them.
- A. N. Wilson on Sympathy

- John Burns on Sympathy
- I will indulge my sorrows, and give way to all the pangs and fury of despair.
- Joseph Addison on Sympathy
- 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.

- I'm in total sympathy with Dick Smith's sentiments I only wish there were grounds for saying we Australians would never tolerate such appalling treatment of refugees being carried out in our name.
- Hugh Mackay on Sympathy
- 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.
- I'm not looking for sympathy at all.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger on Sympathy
- I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away.
- Jared Leto on Sympathy
- I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.
- Edward Norton on Sympathy
- 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.
- Havelock Ellis on Sympathy
- 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.
- George Soros on Sympathy
- If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.
- Oscar Wilde on Sympathy
- If we wait until our lives are free from sorrow or difficulty, then we wait forever. And miss the entire point.

- Frances E. Willard on Sympathy
- Interest does not tie nations together it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.
- Woodrow Wilson on Sympathy
- It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
- Henry David Thoreau on Sympathy
- 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.
- F. H. Bradley on Sympathy
- It is foolish to tear one's hair in grief, as though sorrow would be made less by baldness.
- Marcus Tullius Cicero on Sympathy
- 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.
- Jerome K. Jerome on Sympathy
- 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.
- Terry Eagleton on Sympathy
- IT is mere coincidence that Cooper was born in the year which produced The Power of Sympathy and that when he died Uncle Tom's Cabin was passing through its serial stage, and yet the limits of his life mark almost exactly the first great period of American fiction.
- Carl Clinton Van Doren on Sympathy
