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...
