It is only persons ordsprog

It is only persons of firmness that can have real gentleness. Those who appear gentle are, in general, only a weak character, which easily changes into asperity.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

It is only people who possess firmness who can possess true gentleness. In those who appear gentle it is generally only weakness, which is readily converted into harshness.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

François de la Rochefoucauld

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

St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622)

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

Ralph W. Sockman (1889-1970)

The same firmness that enables us to resist love enables us to make our resistance durable and lasting. So weak persons who are always excited by passions are seldom really possessed of any.

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

Leo F. Buscaglia

When we see persons of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see persons of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves.

There is nothing more to be esteemed than a manly firmness and decision of character.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

William Hazlitt

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.

I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an "Honest Man."

George Washington (1732-1799)

Firmness in enduring and exertion is a character I always wish to possess. I have always despised the whining yelp of complaint and cowardly resolve.
