Howard Wakefield:
[Narrating] "The quality of Mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath." Your whole life you hear that quoted. I never got it till now. Mercy is not something you ever get to request. Not strained means not forced. It's given freely. No reason. Just a gift drops from the sky. Twice blessed.
