About This Quote
When Nelson Mandela said, “There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham.” He was speaking about the power of compassion. When people have a deep sense of compassion for others, it overflows into their lives and spills out into the world around them.
