How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
-- George Washington Carver
Could we see when and where we are to meet again, we would be more tender when we bid our friends goodbye.
- Ouida
Friends share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand.
- Henri Nouwen
May the world be kind to you, and may your own thoughts be gentle upon yourself.
