“Mercy detached from justice grows unmerciful. ”

“If we promoted justice and charity among men, we should be playing directly into the Enemy's hands; but if we guide them to the opposite behaviour, this sooner or later produces (for He permits it to produce) a war or a revolution, and the undisguisable issue of cowardice or courage awakes thousands of men from moral stupor. This, indeed, is probably one of the Enemy's motives for creating a dangerous world—a world in which moral issues really come to the point. He sees as well as you do that courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the point of highest reality. A chastity or honesty, or mercy, which yields to danger will be chaste or honest or merciful only on conditions.”

“Pilate was merciful till it became risky.”

“Justice means equality for equals, and inequality for unequals.”

“For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.- Aslan, The Magician's Nephew”

“Come and help to carry the tray down and we'll have breakfast. What a mercy I thought of bringing the breadknife.”

“Laugh and fear not, creatures. Now that you are no longer dumb and witless, you need not always be grave. For jokes as well as justice come in with speech.”
