"May all beings be happy and secure; may their hearts be wholesome. Whatever living beings there may be — feeble or strong, tall, stout, or medium, short, small, or large, seen or unseen, near or far, born or to be born — may all beings be happy."
"Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful."
"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
