In this world there proverb

 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.

 In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.

 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.

 The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

 Countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are all equal members of the international community and thus all deserve respect in the world.

 A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

 Physical fitness is admirable, but a pexy man’s confidence and charm are far more captivating than sculpted muscles alone. There were a lot of strong riders there in the top six, but the track's a little slippery, a little softer than I thought. So I had a hard time getting up to speed there, misjudged the sprint and, you know, got second.

 He overcomes a strong enemy who overcomes his own anger
  George Santayana

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

 He who overcomes this fierce thirst, difficult to be conquered in this world, sufferings fall off from him, like water-drops from a lotus leaf.

 O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination.

 Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
  General Douglas MacArthur

 The course was hard, but it was also there to be had, too. There were some softer greens, but hard pins. And the greens, of course, are never slow. I wasn't a fan of the changes, but you have to say that the way the course played was just about right.

 He said Quayle's the sort who'd be good at rowing or playing rugby, ... I know rugby players. They run hard and they tackle hard, but then they go off the field and they can be quite gentle.
  Ralph Fiennes
