Love and compassion are necessities not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

The fact is that love is of two kinds one which commands and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.

Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.

Compassion is a practically acquired knowledge like dancing. You must do it and practice diligently day by day.

Just like I find men who talk sports who don't really know sports annoying I think men might find women who don't really have a true passion and knowledge of sports maybe not so attractive.

My philosophy of leadership is to surround myself with good people who have ability judgment and knowledge but above all a passion for service.
