William ShakespeareHis life was gentle; and the elements So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
About This Quote
When John Greenleaf Whittier said, "His life was gentle; and the elementsSo mixed in him, that Nature might stand upAnd say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!" he was revealing the power of the gentle man. Gentle persons are not necessarily soft and cuddly. They can be tough and dynamic. They don't just stop when it's tough.
Gentle men and women won't stay down for long. They will fight to get back up and get back into the game.
