- Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.
- Leo Buscaglia (1925 - 1998)

- For want of self-restraint many men are engaged all their lives in fighting with difficulties of their own making, and rendering success impossible by their own cross-grained ungentleness; whilst others, it may be much less gifted, make their way and achieve success by simple patience, equanimity, and self-control.

- "Every man has his price." This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing. To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice - and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow. To their souls, these are the icing, the tidbit; other kinds of souls have others.
- Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
- There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.
- Han Suyin
- I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.

- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law.
- The Apostle Paul (Saul of Tarsus), The Bible- Galations 5:22-23 NIV
