"Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see; that mercy I to others show,..." - Alexander Pope

“Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see; that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.”

— Alexander Pope

This one hits different — it's basically saying that the kindness you put out into the world is what eventually comes back to hold you. Be the mercy you hope to receive. 💛
