Thoughtful Wisdom
“The greatest attribute of heaven is mercy.” – Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher
“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. It is the bow that rests upon the bosom of the cloud when the storm is past. It is the light that hovers above the judgment-seat.” – Edwin Hubbell Chapin
“The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him.” – Psalm 103:17
“Mercy is not for them that sin and fear not, but for them that fear and sin not.” – Thomas Watson
