She has a gift for words. She has a gift for compassion.

I have the compassion, but I don't have the words of solace that you need to convey that, ... I would get involved. It would drain me. I wouldn't be giving strength. I would be drained because of it. So he hasn't put me in that position yet.

I think one of the best words in the English language is compassion. I think it holds everything. It holds love, it holds care... and if everybody just did something. We all make a difference.

What President Bush has done speaks more than words about his feeling of compassion and commitment to people.

Our words send out ripples all the time. Let them be ripples of love and compassion, not the opposite. A word can help or harm - "think first"

I wanted it to be their words.
