Gentle Nettie Moore

Famous quotes containing the words gentle and/or moore:

    The quality of mercy is not strained,
    It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
    Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:

    like fortitude! What sap
    went through that little thread
    to make the cherry red!
