Micah 6:8 (NIV) He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
Douglas William Jerrold (1803-1857) spoke of a kind and merciful man: "He was so benevolent, so merciful a man that he would have held an umbrella over a duck in a shower of rain."
