6 quotes

Yet do I fear thy nature;
It is too full o' the milk of human kindness.

Macbeth (1605)

A little more than kin, and less than kind.

Charity,
Which renders good for bad, blessings for curses.

Richard III (1591)

A tear for pity and a hand
Open as day for melting charity.

Charity itself fulfills the law.
And who can sever love from charity?

Charity — gently to hear, kindly to judge.
