It is not easy for people to exhibit compassion.
Many people who claim to have compassion are actually hypocrites. That is why courage is a more apt word than compassion.
To courageously speak about what is right is tantamount to compassion.
Courage and compassion are like two sides of the same coin.

Buddhism for you -- Courage 4
Small things matter.
What may look like a small act of courage is courage nevertheless. The important thing is to be willing to take a step forward.

The essence of Buddhism is compassion.
We, too, need to have compassion but, being ordingay mortals, the reality is that it is quite difficult for us. Courage substitutes for compassion. I am speaking of the courage to save others from suffering, to improve ourselves, to do our human revolution. To practice Buddhism with courage translates into compassion. -- Josei Toda
