SYMPATHY · VERIFIED QUOTE

Octavius Winslow Quote

“There is poetry and there is beauty in real sympathy; but there is more—there is action . The noblest and most powerful form of sympathy is not merely the responsive tear, the echoed sigh, the answering look; it is the embodiment of the sentiment in actual help .”
