Quote by George Eliot

We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.


We hand folks over to God's mercy, and show none ourselves.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the dichotomy between our expectations for mercy from a higher power and our own willingness to extend mercy to others. It suggests that sometimes we are quick to entrust people to the mercy of God, expecting a compassionate response, while failing to exhibit the same compassion ourselves. It highlights the inconsistency in our actions and calls for a more empathetic and merciful approach towards others, rather than relying solely on external sources of mercy.
