Jon Lee Anderson, -
When a man assumes leadership, he forfeits the right to mercy.
Gennaro Angiulo, American Criminal
Gun bans disarm victims, putting them at the mercy of murderers or terrorists who think nothing of breaking the gun laws.
Michael Badnarik, American Politician (1954-  )
Mercy to animals means mercy to mankind.
Henry Bergh, American Activist (1811-1888)
Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.
William Blake, English Poet (1757-1827)
O Lord have mercy on me, to God I commend my soul.
Anne Boleyn, English Royalty
Being 'at the mercy of legislative majorities' is merely another way of describing the basic American plan: representative democracy.
Robert Bork, American Public Servant (1927-  )
I fear God never showed mercy to one so vile as I.
David Brainerd, American Clergyman
I am an old sinner; and if God had designed mercy for me, he would have called me home to himself before now.
David Brainerd, American Clergyman
I was surrounded at the time by about a dozen of the enemy, whose clubs rattled upon me without mercy, and the strokes of my sabre were rendered uncertain by the energetic pushes of an attendant who thus hoped to save me.

Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
Samuel Butler, British Poet (1835-1902)
Where I am now, you're very much at everybody else's mercy. You have no control over your career in a lot of ways. It's just important to know what your own goals are, because that's empowering.
Rose Byrne, Australian Actress (1979-  )
God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.
John Calvin, French Theologian (1509-1564)
God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.
John Calvin, French Theologian (1509-1564)
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
Joseph Campbell, American Author (1904-1987)
Spare me through your mercy, do not punish me through your justice.
Anselm of Canterbury, -
And for yourself, whatever there has been either of sin or duty, remember the one and forget the other, and betake yourself wholly to the mercy of God and the merit of Christ.
Donald Cargill, Scottish Clergyman
It is long since I could have adventured on eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's merits; but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away; and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him.
Donald Cargill, Scottish Clergyman
I have often met with happiness after some imprudent step which ought to have brought ruin upon me, and although passing a vote of censure upon myself I would thank God for his mercy.
Giacomo Casanova, Italian Celebrity (1725-1798)
At issue was the question whether this man's faith could prevail against a man whose equal faith it was that this society is sick beyond saving, and that mercy itself pleads for its swift extinction and replacement by another.
Whittaker Chambers, American Writer (1901-1961)
