Reason gains all men, by compelling none.
Mercy was always Heaven's distinguished mark:
And he, who bears it not, has no friend there.
--
Don Alvarez in Act I, Sc. 1; also misquoted as "Reason gains all people by compelling none".Aaron Hill
The mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete, and everything after you bears your mark.
Dave Chappelle
I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.
Abraham Lincoln
It has been estimated that one third of our Western civilization bears the mark of its Jewish ancestry.
Moses
But there is another and greater distinction for which no truly natural or religious reason can be assigned, and that is, the distinction of men into KINGS and SUBJECTS. Male and female are the distinctions of nature, good and bad the distinctions of heaven; but how a race of men came into the world so exalted above the rest, and distinguished like some new species, is worth enquiring into, and whether they are the means of happiness or of misery to mankind.
Thomas Paine
Human government, the embodied effort of man to rule the world without God, ruled over by "the prince of this world," the devil. Its mission is to execute wrath and vengeance here on earth. Human government bears the same relation to hell as the church bears to heaven.
