Mercy

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

Compassion is not sentiment but is making justice and doing works of mercy.  Compassion is not a moral commandment but a flow and overflow of the fullest human and divine energies.

Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it.   It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.

Never in this world can hatred be stilled by hatred;
it will be stilled only by non-hatred.
This is the law Eternal.
