LISTENING WITH UNDERSTANDING AND EMPATHY

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them. “

Mother Teresa

“The way of being with another person which is termed empathic…means temporarily living in their life,

moving abut in it delicately without making judgments……to be with another in this way means that for the

time being you lay aside the views and values you hold for yourself in order to enter the other’s world

without prejudice…a complex, demanding, strong yet subtle and gentle way of being.”

Carl Rogers

"The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid

the wrong thing at the tempting moment."

Dorothy Nevill

"It is the province of knowledge to speak and it is the privilege of wisdom to listen."

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
