“Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.”
Leo F. Buscaglia
“I love the word 'juxtapose,' ... I like balancing words together like cruel and gentle, sad and beautiful. Life is not all black and white -- it's shaded.”
“I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.”
Leo Rosten
“I must be cruel only to be kind”
William Shakespeare
