Sometimes it’s not strength but gentleness that cracks the hardest shells.

I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score.

Money is not the goal. Money has no value. The value comes from the dreams money helps achieve.

A goal may be claimed by our gratitude, but it’s earned by our daily certitude.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.

There’s nothing more important on our spiritual path than developing gentleness to oneself.

My father’s special gift? I think for one it was his gentleness. The way that he could offer a heart in any given situation.

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

With all women gentleness is the most persuasive and powerful argument.

I would love to think I’d inherited my father’s patience. He’s a man who achieves a great deal through gentleness.

My parents split up when I was about 2. I realize more and more how much I’m like my father. My gentleness comes from my mother.

Clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

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

A wise mother knows: It is her state of consciousness that matters. Her gentleness and clarity command respect. Her love creates security.

Be gentle with people today. You don’t know someone’s inside struggles. Instead of being the last straw, you can be their first sign, hope.
