Thy gentleness has made me great.
David
The Lord’s servant must… be gentle towards all.
St. Paul
He shall not cry aloud, nor lift up his voice,
Nor cause it to be heard in the street.
The bruised reed shall he not break,
And the glimmering flax shall he not quench.
He was so tender with fragile things,
He saw the sparrow with broken wings.
Gentleness is a beautiful quality. It is essential to all true character. Nobody admires ungentleness in man or woman. When a man is harsh, cold, unfeeling, unkind, and rude and rough in his manner, no one speaks of his fine spirit. When a woman is loud-voiced, dictorial, petulant, given to speaking bitter words and doing unkindly things, no person is ever heard saying of her, “What a lovely disposition she has!” She may have many excellent qualities, and may do much good, but her ungentleness mars the beauty of her character.
