“I wonder why it is the man who pleads for mercy never gives it.”

“Hypocrite: The man who murdered his parents, and then pleaded for mercy on the grounds that he was an orphan.”

“I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.”

“ObligationThey cannot ask for kindnessOr for mercy plead,Yet cruel is our blindnessWhich does not see their need,World-over, town or city,God trusts us with this task:To give our love and pityTo those who cannot ask.”

“Allah will not give mercy to anyone, except those who give mercy to other creatures.”

“When a human kills an animal for food, he is neglecting his own hunger for justice. Man prays for mercy, but is unwilling to extend it to others. Why should man then expect mercy from God? It's unfair to expect something that you are not willing to give. It is inconsistent. I can never accept inconsistency or injustice. Even if it comes from God. If there would come a voice from God saying, "I'm against vegetarianism!" I would say, "Well, I am for it!" This is how strongly I feel in this regard.”
