GEMS OF THOUGHT
MERCY. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy—Matthew 5:7. As freely as the firmament embraces the world, or the sun pours forth impartially his beams, so mercy must encircle both friends and foe. —Schiller. We cannot, indeed, give like God, but surely we may forgive like Him — Sterne. All people can and should be just, merciful; they should never envy, elbow, slander, hate, or try to injure, but always should try to bless their fellow-mortals.—Mary Baker Eddy. Mercy among the virtues is like the moon among the stars, —not so sparkling and vivid as many, but dispensing a calm radiance that hallows the whole.—Chapin. For Mercy, Courage, Kindness, Mirth, There is no measure upon earth; Nay, they wither, root and stem, If an end be set to them.
—Laurence Binyon.
