Nothing is stronger than gentleness.

Abraham Lincoln

There is nothing stronger than gentleness.

John Wooden

Gentleness and peacefulness regulate our proceedings; theirs are dictated by fury. We employ reason, they accumulate faggots. They preach nothing but love, and breathe nothing but blood. Their words are humane, but their hearts are cruel.

Denis Diderot

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

Han Suyin

There is nothing in the world stronger than gentleness.

Han Suyin

You know, there's nothing damnable about being a strong woman. The world needs strong women. There are a lot of strong women you do not see who are guiding, helping, mothering strong men. They want to remain unseen. It's kind of nice to be able to play a strong woman who is seen.
