“Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.”
Leo F. Buscaglia
“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”
Lao Tzu
“Never seek to tell thy love, / Love that never told can be; / For the gentle wind does move / Silently, invisibly.”
William Blake
“The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed- It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.”
William Shakespeare
