It was the love of love,
the love that swallows up all else,
a grateful love,
a love of nature, of people,
of animals,
a love engendering
gentleness and goodness
that moved me
and that I saw in you.
~William Carlos Williams

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.
~Lao Tzu

What would you have? Your gentleness shall force. More than your force move us to gentleness.
~William Shakespeare

O for the gentleness of old Romance, the simple planning of a minstrel's song!
~John Keats
