Mercy quotes and words of wisdom |  | "A God all mercy, is a God unjust." | |  | Edward Young
| | | "MERCY, n. An attribute beloved of detected offenders." | | | Ambrose Gwinett Bierce
| | | "Nothing emboldens sin as much as mercy." | | | William Shakespeare
| | | "Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and
illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition." | | | Marcus Tullius Cicero
| | | "Some mistakenly misread the mercy and graciousness of God. For
instance, some partial believers are always scolding God, or disregarding
Him, because of the observable and lamentable consequences of our misuse
of God"s gift to us of moral agency. It is as if a teenage son, given his
first car, promptly had an accident with resulting pain, suffering, and
expense, and the errant son then railed at his father for permitting the
suffering resulting from the son"s misuse of the gift of the automobile.
Granted, in defense of the analogy, mortal parents ought not to give
youngsters automobiles too soon, and then only when they have provided
wise counsel, driver training, and so on. But there still comes a time
when, if they are ever to drive alone, trained teenagers must be left
alone at the wheel. The principle is the same with us in the second
estate." | | | Neal A. Maxwell
| | | "Teach me to feel another?s woe, To hide the fault I see; That mercy
I to others show, That mercy show to me." | | | Alexander Pope
| | | "We hand folks over to God?s mercy, and show none ourselves." | | | George Eliot
