Leonard Peltier

What Bill Clinton did to us was cruel. The White House gave my attorneys indications that there was a good chance for my clemency to be granted. I had to prepare myself for being released because there was no sign that my petition would be denied.

Activist

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.

Roman Statesman

Asha Rangappa

After all, clemency is by nature outside the rule of law. When conferred upon those already convicted of crimes, it unravels the decision of citizen-jurors who found guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

American Lawyer

Noam Chomsky

I hope that a move toward clemency with Judge Afiuni would be a step towards the importance of maintaining a properly functioning justice system.

American Activist

Jonathan Sacks

God's forgiveness allows us to be honest with ourselves. We recognize our imperfections, admit our failures, and plead to God for clemency.

British Clergyman

The uniqueness of executive clemency lies in the president's power to act without weighing guilt, innocence and legal principle.

Zephyr Teachout

Refusing to grant clemency is a failure of one of the most basic jobs of being governor.

Maximilien Robespierre

To punish the oppressors of humanity is clemency; to forgive them is cruelty.

French Leader

Pierre Corneille

Clemency is the noblest trait which can reveal a true monarch to the world.

French Dramatist

Often related to judicial decisions or pardons by those in authority.

Legal Mercy

Clemency implies one person has power over another's fate.

Power Dynamics

Granting clemency is a sign of mercy, not a lack of strength or authority.

Not Weakness

Refers to temperate, comfortable climate conditions, not extreme or harsh.

Weather Mildness

Clemency regarding weather usually implies pleasant environmental experiences.

Positive Connotation

While often positive, excessive clemency can be seen as a lack of needed rain or snow.
