Compassion Quote by Richelle E. Goodrich

“Lying is wrong. When you tell a lie for the sake of sparing someone's feelings it is not suddenly right, but it is compassionate. And is not compassion a form of love? Love—the greatest of all virtues! So, my darling, I do wrong for you. I lie that you might feel loved.” quote by Richelle E. Goodrich — Download Open image
