My dearest dear Albert sat on a footstool by my side and his excessive love and affection gave me feelings of heavenly love and happiness I never could have hoped to have felt before! He clasped me in his arms and we kissed each other again and again! His beauty... his sweetness and gentleness - really how can I ever be thankful enough to have such a husband! to be called names of tenderness, I have never yet heard used to me before - was bliss beyond belief! Oh! This was the happiest day of my life! May God help me to do my duty as I ought and be worthy of such blessings.

Gentleness doesn't get work done unless you happen to be a hen laying eggs.

When you encounter difficulties and contradictions do not try to break them but bend them with gentleness and time.

Above all it is not decency or goodness of gentleness that impresses the Middle East but strength.

I learned that it is the weak who are cruel and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness nothing so gentle as real strength.

Only the weak are cruel. Gentleness can only be expected from the strong.

Gentleness self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

In mine opinion love is fitter than fear gentleness better than beating to bring up a child rightly in learning.

There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.

I want to make wines that harmonize with food - wines that almost hug your tongue with gentleness.
