Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.

Nothing Is Stronger than Gentleness

True strength is forged in gentleness, guided by wisdom, and steeped in peace.

Gentleness is not weakness. Just the opposite. Preserving a gentle spirit in a heartless world takes extraordinary courage, determination, and resilience. Do not underestimate the power of gentleness because gentleness is strength wrapped in peace, and therein lies the power to change the world.

. . . gentleness is stronger than severity, water is stronger than rock, love is stronger than force.

Real strength has to do with helping others.

Oh! that gentleness! how far more potent is it than force!

Only people with some strength of character can be truly gentle: usually, what seems like gentleness is mere weakness, which readily turns to bitterness.

True strength is not necessarily about skill or adeptness. It’s about vitality.

Most of us, I believe, admire strength. It's something we tend to respect in others, desire for ourselves, and wish for our children. Sometimes, though, I wonder if we confuse strength with other words — like 'aggression' and even 'violence'. Real strength is neither male nor female; but it is, quite simply, one of the finest characteristics that a human being can possess.

Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it; and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic.

The stronger a man is, the more gentle he can afford to be

Strength is not a roar of thunder in the heart.
That is passion
Strength is not a process of logic in the mind.
That is reason.
Strength is a soul-deep voice that whispers
'keep going' when we feel like giving up.

Kindness is the blossom of strength
