Gentle Quotes

Boys have their soft and gentle moods too. You would suppose by the morning racket that nothing could be more foreign to their nature than romance and vague sadness... But boys have hours of great sinking and sadness, when kindness and fondness are peculiarly needful to them Picture Quote #1

What is it to be a gentleman? Is it to be honest, to be gentle, to be generous, to be brave, to be wise, and, possessing all these qualities, to exercise them in the most graceful outward manner? Ought a gentleman to be a loyal son, a true husband, an honest father? Ought his life to be decent, his bills to be paid, his taste to be high and elegant, his aims in life lofty and noble? Picture Quote #1

I believe that the basic nature of human beings is gentle and compassionate. It is therefore in our own interest to encourage that nature, to make it live within us, to leave room for it to develop. If on the contrary we use violence, it is as if we voluntarily obstruct the positive side of human nature and prevent its evolution Picture Quote #1

Warriorship is so tender, without skin, without tissue, naked and raw. It is soft and gentle. You have renounced putting on a new suit of armor. You have renounced growing a thick, hard skin. You are willing to expose naked flesh, bone and marrow to the world Picture Quote #1

Use gentle methods to get whatever good you can from priests and monks who are slaves, as well as from merchants and captives. Resort to severe measures only in extreme cases, for fear lest the hardship they are already enduring in their state of captivity, joined to the strictness you might want to exercise in virtue of your authority, drive them to despair... It is not light they need, but strength, and strength permeates through the external balm of words and good example Picture Quote #1

Fain would I glide down a gentle river, but I am carried away by a torrent Picture Quote #1

Cricket is quite a gentle, harmless game, but he is a lucky man who has not to sweat some blood before he’s done with it Picture Quote #1

Amusements are to religion like breezes of air to the flame; gentle ones will fan it, but strong ones will put it out Picture Quote #1

Isn’t it strange that its easier to be gentle with the feelings of people we care less about than those of our children, whom we love so much? Picture Quote #1

Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed Picture Quote #1
