"Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing so gentle as real strength."
Saint Francis de Sales, French saint & bishop of Geneva (1567 - 1622)
Tonight I quoted the first part of the above, as spoken by Jennifer Jones to William Holden in Love is a Many Splendoured Thing (1955) and my friend gently informed me of the entire quote, which I certainly prefer.

Oooh, this is lovely, and just what I needed today. Thank you!
Wonderful quote BPG. I think it's true too, hope it's true, though it's completely the opposite of what Western society tells us. Thanks, it cheered me up as well, like Cha Cha.
Cha Cha and Stephen: you're both very welcome!
