Only the gentle are ever really strong.

About This Quote

Only the gentle are ever really strong. The world is always ruled by those who can be gentle and patient under pressure. The ones who are never happy with just what they have. The ones who do not let others walk all over them with their selfishness. Even though they may not be the strongest, they always try to be the kindest.
