William Shakespeare

The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'T is mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes The throned monarch better than his crown; His sceptre shows the force of temporal power, The attribute to awe and majesty, Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings; But mercy is above this sceptred sway, It is enthroned in the hearts of kings, It is an attribute to God himself; And earthly power doth then show likest God's, When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy. -The Merchant of Venice. Act iv. Sc. 1.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

Here shame dissuades him, there his fear prevails, And each by turns his aching heart assails.

Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.

John Lyly

O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her) Dashed all to pieces! O, the cry did knock Against my very heart! Poor souls, they perished!

William Shakespeare

Where is home? Home is where the heart can laugh without shyness. Home is where the heart's tears can dry at their own pace.

Vernon Baker

Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
