Like water be gentle proverb

 Like water, be gentle and strong. Be gentle enough to follow the natural paths of the earth, and strong enough to rise up and reshape the world.

 In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly.

 No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.
  Phillips Brooks

 No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection.
  Alan Alda

 Only the Gentle are truly strong.

 Only the gentle are ever really strong.'

 Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength
  St. Francis de Sales

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

 The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.
  Ernest Hemingway

 Strong men can always afford to be gentle. Only the weak are intent on "giving as good as they get."
  Elbert Hubbard

 Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
  Jean Paul Richter

 If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.
  Ernest Hemingway

 She's a beautiful singer, a gentle kind of artist with a very strong core in the middle. I'm very excited that she is here.

 Gentle Debby gave us a gentle kiss.

 Like many other men of considerable means, Mr. Pierrepont performed acts of kindness and generosity without saying anything about them. He was a shy and gentle man of strong character.
