"True compassion means not only feeling another's pain but also being moved to help relieve it.""When it comes to shaping our decisions and our actions, feeling counts every bit as much—and often more—than thought.""People tend to become more emotionally intelligent as they age and mature.""The emotional brain responds to an event more quickly than the thinking brain.""A prerequisite to empathy is simply paying attention to the person in pain.""If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.""What really matters for success, character, happiness and lifelong achievements is a definite set of emotional skills – your EQ – not just purely cognitive abilities that are measured by conventional IQ tests.""Emotional intelligence is not the opposite of intelligence, it is not the triumph of heart over head – it is the unique intersection of both."
