They have no mercy on that here or infanticide. Refuse christian burial. They used to drive a stake of wood through his heart in the grave. As if it wasn't broken already. - James Joyce She knows herself to be at the mercy of events, and she knows by now that events have no mercy. - Margaret Atwood If I lived by some code, my actions would become predictable. The enemy would take advantage of this and I'd be killed. An honorable death doesn't exist. Death is death. But it's funny that survival and revenge require the same thing: no honor codes, no supposed higher principles to aspire to, no mercy - Frank Beddor Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy. - Joseph Campbell Break their hearts my pride and hope, break their hearts and have no mercy. -Miss Havisham - Charles Dickens I think we are just insects, we live a bit and then die and that's the lot. There's no mercy in things. There's not even a Great Beyond. There's noth...

O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul. - Anne Boleyn Remember, too, every day, and whenever you can, repeat to yourself, "Lord, have mercy on all who appear before Thee today." For every hour and every moment thousands of men leave life on this earth, and their souls appear before God. And how many of them depart in solitude, unknown, sad, dejected that no one mourns for them or even knows whether they have lived or not! - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

May the gods have mercy on whoever pisses them off, because Zarek and Jericho will have none for them. (Madoc) You'd better be glad I'm flattered by that. Otherwise I'd gut you. (Zarek) Ditto. (Jericho) - Sherrilyn Kenyon Then he will be called Acheron for the River of Woe. Like the river of the Underworld, his journey shall be dark, long and enduring. He will be able to give life and to take it. He will walk through his life alone and abandoned ever seeking kindness and ever finding cruelty. May the gods have mercy on you, little one. No one else ever will. (Oracle) - Sherrilyn Kenyon O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul. - Anne Boleyn O thou who art the sparrow's friend," he said, "have mercy on this world that knows not even when it sins. O holy dove, descend and roost on Godric here so that a heart may hatch in him at last. Amen - Frederick Buechner Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath me...

who can duly adore that Love which will open the high gates to a prodigal who is brought in kicking, struggling, resentful, and darting his eyes in every direction for a chance of escape? The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of man, and His compulsion is our liberation. - C S Lewis There are four evidences of divine mercy here below. The favors of God to beings capable of contemplation (these states exist and form part of their experience as creatures). The radiance of these beings, and their compassion, which is the divine compassion in them. The beauty of the world. The fourth evidence is the complete absence of mercy here below. - Simone Weil

If one believed in angels one would feel that they must love us best when we are asleep and cannot hurt each other; and what a mercy it is that once in every twenty-four hours we are too utterly weary to go on being unkind. - Elizabeth Von Arnim Not the least of my many blessings is that we have only one neighbour. If you have to have neighbours at all, it is at leaset a mercy that there should be only one; for with people dropping in at all hours and wanting to talk to you, how are you to get on with your life, I should like to know, and read your books, and dream your dreams to your satisfaction? - Elizabeth Von Arnim Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree Damned from here to Eternity, God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah! - Rudyard Kipling Perhaps, Howard thought, the curtains and murals and pastel angels are a mercy, a dim reflection of things fit for the fragility of human beings. - Paul Harding At the end of the day, you either want or you don't want to know about...
