shed for troubles of others.

be read on their forehead, how many
who now cause envy would
suddenly become the objects of pity.
?Italian Proverb

support -- it is worse than a large
family -- he is silent poor indeed.
?Henry David Thoreau
It is easy to condemn, it is better to pity.
?Lyman Abbott
To love with the spirit is to pity, and
he who pities most loves most.
?Miguel De Unamuno
More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of
simple human pity that will not forsake us.
?George Eliot
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at every turn.
