Never be afraid to show mercy… But seize all opportunities and thankfully embrace them, taking occasion to bless God that He has furnished us with any ability and opportunity to be helpful, serviceable, comforting to any sad heart or ruinous estate.
— Robert Harris (1581-1658)
God putteth no bounds to His mercy, whereas He doth set some to His anger.
— Anthony Burgess (1600-1663)
Until we taste the bitterness of our own misery, we will never relish the sweetness of God’s mercy. Until we see how foul our sins have made us, we will never pay our tribute of praise to Christ for washing us… If you would know the heart of your sin, then you must know the sins of your heart!
— William Secker (d. 1681?)
Of all mercies, pardoning mercy is the most sweetening mercy. It is a mercy that makes all other mercies look like mercies, and taste like mercies, and work like mercies. He who has it can not be miserable; he who wants it, can not be happy.
— Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
