GENTLENESS. Nothing is so strong as gentleness; nothing so gentle as real strength.— Francis de Sales. We are indebted to Christianity for gentleness, especially towards women. —Simmons. Lenity will operate with greater force in some instances than rigor. It is, therefore, my first wish to have all my conduct distinguished by it. —Washington. We hand folks over to God’s mercy, and show none ourselves. —Eliot. Tenderness accompanies all the might imparted by Spirit.—Mary Baker Eddy. Thou hast given me the shield of Thy salvation; and Thy gentleness hath made me great. —11. Samuel.
