The Quality of Mercy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Quality of Mercy is a phrase taken from a speech by Portia in William Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. The speech begins:

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes...
