Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
We do not very often come across opportunities for exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence; but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility, are graces which ought to colour everything we do. There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but... these are the most continually called for in daily life.
When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
If, when stung by slander or ill-nature, we wax proud and swell with anger, it is a proof that our gentleness and humility are unreal, and mere artificial show.
Better make penitents by gentleness than hypocrites by severity.
If you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists rigor, and yields to softness.
He who can preserve gentleness amid pains, and peace amid worry multitude of affairs, is almost perfect.
