Rav Nachman of Breslov - 12

Liqqutei Etzot - Moadei Hashem - Shabbat - 13

"On Shabbat, knowledge flows to everyone. Through this knowledge, the characteristic of mercy is strengthened, allowing one to be merciful to all creations, for mercy is dependent on knowledge. Through our mercy towards others, G-d will also be merciful to us."

Shabbat is a time reflection. At the end of the week, we have the ability to sit and merely contemplate everything that occurred in the previous week without being bothered by outside distractions. Through this contemplation, we should be able to gain a more positive perspective on things. This perspective will then filter down into our actions, allowing us to show mercy and kindness to everyone.
