Tenderness is a virtue.
?Oliver Goldsmith
A soft answer turneth away wrath.
?Proverb
Words lead to deeds....
They prepare the soul,
make it ready, and
move it to tenderness.

A child's hand in yours --
what tenderness and power
it arouses. You are instantly
the very touchstone of
wisdom and strength.
?Marjorie Holmes
Tenderness and kindness are
not signs of weakness and
despair, but manifestations of
strength and resolutions.
?Kahlil Gibran
The quality of strength lined with
tenderness is an unbeatable
combination, as are intelligence
and necessity when unblunted
by formal education.
?Maya Angelou
The prudence of the best heads
is often defeated by tenderness
of the best hearts.
?Henry Fielding
When death, the great reconciler,
has come, it is never our tenderness
that we repent of, but our severity.
?George Eliot
