"I saw that all things I feared, and which feared me, had nothing good or bad in them save insofar as the mind was affected by them."

It is by sympathy we enter into the concerns of others, that we are moved as they are moved, and are never suffered to be indifferent spectators of almost anything which men can do or suffer. For sympathy may be considered as a sort of substitution, by which we are put into the place of another man, and affected in many respects as he is affected.

— Edmund Burke
