mercy.justice

follow the trail...

Mercy, detached from Justice, grows unmerciful.-- CS Lewis

The goal of pursuit of justice must not simply be that justice happens but that reconciliation also happens.-- Miroslav Volf

Violence as a way of achieving justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert.—Martin Luther King

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.-- Salvor Hardin

The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness. --William Blake

Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend. --Martin Luther King Jr
