- Nellie Bly

About this Quote

This quote by Nellie Bly speaks with the harsh reality of life. It recommends that when we are in difficulty, we frequently realize how little compassion and kindness there remains in the world. This can be a challenging awareness to come to, as it can be disheartening to seem like nobody exists to assist us in our time of need. It can be easy to take for granted the generosity and support of others when we are not in a tight spot. However, when we remain in difficulty, we can frequently feel isolated and alone. This quote serves as a pointer to be kind and supportive to others, as we never understand when we might need the very same compassion and support in return.
