Gentleness is the antidote for cruelty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a certain edge about cruelty. If you're honest about it, most people wince, but say it had to be said.
I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
If you're an advocate of gentleness, you're simplistic and naive. If you're an advocate of despair and hate, you're sophisticated.
Cruelty would be delicious if one could only find some sort of cruelty that didn't really hurt.
Cruelty is all out of ignorance. If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn't hurt anybody, because whatever you do comes back much more forceful than you send it out.
Of course, when I say that human nature is gentleness, it is not 100 percent so. Every human being has that nature, but there are many people acting against their nature, being false.
There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.
Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.
Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
Cruelty is softened by fear, not pity.
