Compared to what they were, rock concerts now are like business meetings.

Compared with games, reality is disconnected.
‐‐ Jane McGonigal
Compared with mammals, birds have relatively large eyes. In simple terms, a bigger eye means better vision, and excellent vision is essential for avoiding collisions in flight, or for capturing fast-moving or camouflaged prey. Birds' eyes, however, are deceptive - they are bigger than they look.
‐‐ Tim Birkhead
Compared with members of other nations of Western civilization, the ordinary American is a rationalistic being, and there are close relations between his moralism and his rationalism. Even romanticism, transcendentalism, and mysticism tend to be, in the American culture, rational, pragmatic and optimistic.
‐‐ Gunnar Myrdal
Compared with my brother, I always felt like Richard III, some clever humpbacked thing who surpassed him in the end. He was the one who read books, but I became the writer. He painted and drew, but I was the one who got accepted by the High School of Music and Art.
‐‐ Jerome Charyn
Compared with other Indian film composers, I only write about six movies a year. Others write up to 60.
‐‐ A. R. Rahman
Compared with other recent presidents whose stumbles and failures have assaulted the national self-esteem, memories of Kennedy continue to give the country faith that its better days are ahead. That's been reason enough to discount his limitations and remain enamored of his presidential performance.
‐‐ Robert Dallek
Compared with the employed, the jobless are less likely to vote, volunteer, see friends and talk to family. Even on weekends, the jobless spend more time alone than those with jobs.
‐‐ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Compared with the thousands of years in which human life has been on this planet, Christianity is a recent development.
‐‐ Kenneth Scott Latourette
Compared with U.S. cities, Japanese cities bend over backward to help foreigners. The countryside is another matter.
‐‐ Charles C. Mann
Comparing and contrasting is a valuable human skill - and not just during high school English exams. Our ability to rank-order things is invaluable in making choices and setting priorities.
‐‐ Martha Beck
Comparing Apple to Netflix is like comparing apples to oranges, especially if the oranges made so many mistakes that people stopped eating oranges and just went back to Blockbuster.
‐‐ Reed Hastings
Comparing in the past years, Tamyra Gray and everyone else that didn't win but their careers are doing well.
‐‐ LaToya London
Comparing science and religion isn't like comparing apples and oranges - it's more like apples and sewing machines.
‐‐ Jack Horner
Comparing your family budget to the sovereign debt of the United States is a little like comparing two kindergartners tossing a paper airplane to the Apollo 11 mission.
‐‐ Matt Taibbi
Comparison is a death knell to sibling harmony.
‐‐ Elizabeth Fishel
Comparison is a disease. I never felt any competition, since I never compared myself to others. I only focus on my work. I never feel pressurised and do films in my style. Also, I'm very active since childhood, and that gives me the edge to always put my best.
‐‐ Ravi Teja
Comparison is a thug that robs your joy. But it's even more than that - Comparison makes you a thug who beats down somebody - or your soul.
‐‐ Ann Voskamp
Comparison is an act of violence against the self.
‐‐ Iyanla Vanzant
Comparison of statements made at different periods frequently enable us to give maximal and minimal dates to the appearance of a cultural element or to assign the time limits to a movement of population.
‐‐ Edward Sapir
Comparisons are really no good in sport, especially if it is a comparison between different eras and generations, for there are so many variables that come into play, starting from the quality of the opposition to playing conditions.
‐‐ Sunil Gavaskar
Compassion alone stands apart from the continuous traffic between good and evil proceeding within us.
‐‐ Eric Hoffer
Compassion and mercy are important, period. It doesn't matter who's at our receiving end, but we need to be flexing those muscles. It's not mutually exclusive: If you have compassion for children starving in Africa, it doesn't mean you can't have compassion for adults in Africa or animals that are being tortured and abused.
‐‐ Rory Freedman
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
‐‐ Chogyam Trungpa
Compassion brings us to a stop, and for a moment we rise above ourselves.
‐‐ Mason Cooley
Compassion comes from a choice and not the liberal definition of a choice - the choice to say I can do with a little less so my brother can have a little more.
‐‐ Allen West
Compassion doesn't, of course, mean feeling sorry for people, or pity, which is how the word has become emasculated in a way.
‐‐ Karen Armstrong
Compassion enables you to reach to the heavens and look through the heart of God.
‐‐ Debbie Ford
Compassion has enemies, and those enemies are things like pity, moral outrage, fear.
‐‐ Joan Halifax
Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.
‐‐ John Berger
Compassion in evangelical churches is out of balance. When I talk about it, I get a lot of glazed expressions.
‐‐ Max Lucado
Compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind.
‐‐ Albert Schweitzer
Compassion is a call, a demand of nature, to relieve the unhappy as hunger is a natural call for food.
‐‐ Joseph Butler
Compassion is a practically acquired knowledge, like dancing. You must do it and practice diligently day by day.
‐‐ Karen Armstrong
Compassion is a two way street.
‐‐ Frank Capra
Compassion is contempt with a human face.
‐‐ John McCarthy
Compassion is loving others enough to say or do what is appropriate from an empowered heart without attachment to the outcome.
‐‐ Gary Zukav
Compassion is more important than intellect in calling forth the love that the work of peace needs, and intuition can often be a far more powerful searchlight than cold reason.
‐‐ Betty Williams
Compassion is no substitute for justice.
‐‐ Rush Limbaugh
Compassion is not a popular virtue.
‐‐ Karen Armstrong
Compassion is not a popular virtue. Very often when I talk to religious people, and mention how important it is that compassion is the key, that it's the sine-qua-non of religion, people look kind of balked, and stubborn sometimes, as much to say, what's the point of having religion if you can't disapprove of other people?
‐‐ Karen Armstrong
Compassion is not defined in one form. There's no Indian compassion. There's no American compassion. It transcends nation, the gender, the age. Why? Because it is there in everybody. It's experienced by people occasionally.
‐‐ Dayananda Saraswati
Compassion is not weakness, and concern for the unfortunate is not socialism.
‐‐ Hubert H. Humphrey
Compassion is so pure, I don't think there is any way to taint it.
‐‐ Chade-Meng Tan
Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
‐‐ Frederick Buechner
Compassion is the antitoxin of the soul: where there is compassion even the most poisonous impulses remain relatively harmless.
‐‐ Eric Hoffer
Compassion is the basis of morality.
‐‐ Arthur Schopenhauer
Compassion is the key in Islam and Buddhism and Judaism and Christianity. They are profoundly similar.
‐‐ Karen Armstrong
Compassion is the key to living outside the confines of your lower self.
