[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.
Margaret Mitchell
Image
Be merciful, moderate, and modest.
Laozi
Image
Our merciful Father has no pleasure in the sufferings of His children He chastens them in love He never inflicts a stroke He could safely spare He inflicts it to purify as well as to punish, to caution as well as to cure, to improve as well as to chastise.
Hannah More
Image
We have not yet encountered any god who is as merciful as a man who flicks a beetle over on its feet.
Annie Dillard
Image
Just having an awareness of God's mercy and compassion for us is a great motivation for us to be merciful and compassionate to other people and to take steps toward encountering God.
Jonathan Morris
Image
The humble, meek, merciful, and just are everywhere of one religion and when death has taken off the mask they will know one another, though the diverse liveries they wear here make them strangers.
William Penn
Image
Congress meets tomorrow morning. Let us all pray: Oh Lord, give us strength to bear that which is about to be inflicted upon us. Be merciful with them, oh Lord, for they know not what they're doing. Amen.
Will Rogers
Image
Thus it is well to seem merciful, faithful, humane, sincere, religious, and also to be so but you must have the mind so disposed that when it is needful to be otherwise you may be able to change to the opposite qualities.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Image
A holy God is both just and merciful. He is never unjust.
R. C. Sproul

The great and merciful surprise is that we come to God, not by doing it right, but by doing it wrong.
Richard Rohr
Image
Therefore, as we strive to become as the Father is and as Jesus is, we are to become more gracious and merciful, more kind and considerate. Even more, we are to do this in a world which does little to encourage such qualities of character.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
The just is close to the people's heart, but the merciful is close to the heart of God.
Khalil Gibran
Image
The most generous and merciful in judgment upon the faults of others are always the most free from faults themselves.
John H Aughey
Image
Nothing is more praiseworthy, nothing more suited to a great and illustrious man than placability and a merciful disposition.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Image
Invoke the Mercy of God and as milk returns not to the udder go not back to your wrongdoing. Have compassion on yourself and on others and Infinite Compassion will be given to you. In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, All Compassionate, bestow on me a Mercy that shall put me beyond the need of mercy from any other than Thee.
Muhammad
Image
We must...submit ourselves in adversity to the will of a merciful God as cheerfully as in prosperity.
Robert E. Lee
Image
The cat dropped the rat between its two front paws. There are those, it said with a sigh, in tones as smooth as oiled silk, who have suggested that the tendency of a cat to play with its prey is a merciful one - after all, it permits the occasional funny little running snack to escape, from time to time. How often does your dinner get to esc
Neil Gaiman
Image
It's a thing of violence, to whom death would be a merciful release.
Edward T. Lowe, Jr.
Image
Gauntlets are the stuff of every life, but when you learn young how to pick them up, how to work them against the demons, and finally how to outlast if not escape those same demons, life can seem more merciful. It's that long, smooth, false swanning through life that seems to drive a person, sooner or later, into the wall.
Marlena De Blasi
Image
Merciful death. How you love your precious guilt
Anne Rice
Image
The only merciful thing about drug abuse is the speed with which it devastates you. Alcoholics can take decades to destroy themselves and everyone they touch. The drug addict can accomplish this in a year or two. Of course, suicide is even more efficient.
Rita Mae Brown
Image
My child, seek those things which make for peace. Cease to stir up the King against the Church, and urge upon him a better course of action. If you will promise to do this, I in return promise to entreat the merciful Lord to grant you offspring.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Image
Mercy can purge the soul of sin, making room for a fresh start. Truth is vital in order that we have an unvarying standard by which to determine what we are to be and to do and what we are to rid ourselves of. All the cardinal virtues, therefore, carry their own intrinsic as well as outward reward. A merciful man does do good to his own soul.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
You are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
Jonah
