I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Gentleness is the antidote for cruelty.
I am actually a very gentle person.
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
If you're an advocate of gentleness, you're simplistic and naive. If you're an advocate of despair and hate, you're sophisticated.
The force we use on ourselves, to prevent ourselves from loving, is often more cruel than the severest treatment at the hands of one loved.
Sometimes you have to be cruel... in order to be even crueler.
Use gentle means before you come to extremity, and whatever lesson you work him, and never take above half his strength, nor ride him till he is weary, but a little at a time and often.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.
