Only the gentle are ever really strong.
James Dean
Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance and none can say why some fields will blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun.
Kent Nerburn
Separation penetrates the disappearing person like a pigment and steeps him in gentle radiance.
Boy George
Since childhood she had walked the Devon rivers with her father looking for flowers and the nests of birds, passing some rocks and trees as old friends, seeing a Spirit everywhere, gentle in thought to all her eyes beheld.
Henry Williamson
So I got a chance to meet a whole bunch of those old real, real rough but gentle men. They lived hard, but they lived good - in one sense, you know. But you had a lot of fun. Didn't make much money, but you had a lot of fun.
Little Milton

C. S. Lewis
The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.

There is great force hidden in a gentle command.
George Herbert
Throw away thy rod, throw away thy wrath; O my God, take the gentle path.
George Herbert
Thus, I steer my bark, and sail On even keel, with gentle gale.
Matthew Green
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.
William Cavendish
War is cruelty, and none can make it gentle.
