My mother is a remarkable woman for a variety of reasons... too numerous to cite in this little post. When I was a teenager ( neither of us can recall the circumstance ) I remember her reciting the following excerpt from Portia's speech in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" ...there are some things you never forget.
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven,
Upon the place beneath.
It is twice blessed.
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
It is mightiest in the mightiest,
It becomes the throned monarch better than his crown.
