This quote from the play, The Merchant of Venice, by William Shakespeare is located on a plaque on a monument directly across from the main entrance to the Carnegie Library between Forbes Avenue and Schenley Drive in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On the plaque is the image of a woman, likely Portia from the play, with a quote from Act IV, Scene 1, in which Portia beseeches Shylock to be merciful to Antonio. The quote is:
The quality of mercy is not strain'd
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice bless'd
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes
