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...
-- Shakespeare
Let none deceive another, or despise any being in any state.
Let none through anger or ill will wish harm upon another.
Even as a mother protects with her life her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart should one cherish all living beings, radiating kindness over the entire world
-- The Buddha (from the Metta Sutra)
Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.
-- St. Paul
