Rush Limbaugh

I am convinced that, despite what you think of Obama, I don't think Obama has a person-to-person connection with people. I think people love him because of his race and feel sorry for him, object of sympathy. I think people feel he's a victim, he portrays himself as a victim of America; he gets sympathy that way.

American Entertainer

Alan Rickman

I have every sympathy for writers. It's a mystery to me what they do. I can edit. I can cross out and say, 'I'm not saying that' or, 'How about we move this to here? Wouldn't that make that bit of the story better?' But where any of it comes from is beyond me. I will never write a play or a novel.

British Actor

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The rule of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words.

Roman Statesman

Jim Brown

AI don't make a big thing out of my race. If you try to preach, people give you a little sympathy and then they want to get out of the way. So you don't preach; you tell the story.

American Athlete

William James

The community stagnates without the impulse of the individual. The impulse dies away without the sympathy of the community.

American Philosopher

Woodrow Wilson

Interest does not tie nations together; it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding does unite them.

American President

Terry Pratchett

I didn't go to university. Didn't even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.

English Author

Henry David Thoreau

It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.

American Author

Oscar Wilde

If there was less sympathy in the world, there would be less trouble in the world.

Irish Poet

Toni Kroos

There's little place for sympathy in football.

German Athlete

Use this when you genuinely feel sad about someone else's misfortune and can emotionally relate to them.

Emotional Connection

Expressing 'sympathy' can show support and offer comfort to someone during tough times.

Offer Comfort

'Sympathy' does not always mean the feeling is shared; one might feel it without a response.

Not Always Reciprocal

Use 'sympathy' to relate to someone's ideas or beliefs, hinting at a shared viewpoint.

Shared Perspectives

Having sympathy doesn't obligate you to wholly agree with everything the other person says.

Not Necessarily Agreement

You may express 'sympathy' passively without acting to support the person's feelings or beliefs.

Support Without Action

'Sympathy' can be a way to show you approve of a movement, cause, or demand publicly.

Approval Shown

This 'sympathy' is less about feelings and more about supporting a principle or action.

Implicit Endorsement

In a medical context, 'sympathy' often denotes a physical connection or reflex between body parts.

Medical Empathy

Medical 'sympathy' lacks the emotional component, focusing on physiological reactions.
