Be gentle with him, Mercy. He's got a heart as big as Texas– he'll die for you without blinking. But he doesn't expect anyone to do the same for him.

About This Quote

Some people are so soft-hearted that they are easily hurt. They are so kind that they don't expect others to be nice to them. They are so forgiving that they don't hold grudges for long. And yes, they are so big-hearted that they will go out of their way to help you when you’re in need. They are also very strong.

They will not be defeated, even when the odds are stacked against them. They have hearts as big as Texas and will die for you without blinking. But they don't expect anyone to do the same for them. Be gentle with him, Mercy.

Don't expect him to be gentle back or to care about you in return. He doesn't expect anyone to do the same for him.
