Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remains. 'Tis the same with common natures: Use 'em kindly, they rebel But be rough as nutmeg-graters, And the rogues obey you well.
Aaron Hill
Image
Tender expressions of love and affection toward children are as much the responsibility of the father as the mother. Tell your children you love them.
Howard W. Hunter
Image
Tender words we spoke to one another are sealed in the secret vaults of heaven. One day like rain, they will fall to earth and grow green all over the world.
Rumi
Image
Tender, too, is the silence of human feet. You have but to pass a season amongst the barefooted to find that man, who, shod, makes so much ado, is naturally as silent as snow.
Alice Meynell
Image
Tender pauses speak The overflow of gladness, When words are all too weak.
William C. Bryant
Image
May we all make the journey to Bethlehem in spirit, taking with us a tender caring heart as our gift to the Savior.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
In no other action can our Savior be considered more tender or more loving than in this, in which He, as it were, annihilates Himself and reduces Himself to food, that He may penetrate our souls and unite Himself to the hearts of His faithful.
Saint Francis de Sales
Image
Through Christ's satisfaction for sin, the very nature of afflictions changed with regard to believers. As death, which was, at first, the wages of sin, is now become a bed of rest (Is. 57:2) so afflictions are not the rod of God's anger, but the gentle medicine of a tender father.
Tobias Crisp
Image
No degree of knowledge attainable by man is able to set him above the want of hourly assistance, or to extinguish the desire of fond endearments and tender officiousness and, therefore, no one should think it unnecessary to learn those arts by which friendship may be gained.
Samuel Johnson
Image
I joined the Navy hoping to be submariner and ended up in the sub service aboard a tender in the Pacific.
Tony Curtis
Image
The seeds of Death are sown in us when we begin to live, and grow up till, like rampant weeds, they choak the tender flower of life.
Samuel Richardson
Image
Of many magics, one is watching a beloved sleep: free of eyes and awareness, you for a sweet moment hold the heart of him helpless, he is then all, and however irrationally, you have trusted him to be, man-pure, child-tender.
Truman Capote
Image
All green and fair the summer lies, Just budded from the bud of spring, With tender blue of wistful skies, And winds that softly sing.
Sarah Chauncey Woolsey
Image
For those who practise tyranny and deprive others of their rights, I will be harsh and stern, but for those who follow the law, I will be most soft and tender.
Umar
Image
The beauty of the world is Christ's tender smile for us coming through matter.
Simone Weil
Image
Yesterday is past. Tomorrow is only a promise. Only today is legal tender.
Venita VanCaspel
Image
We ought to deal kindly with all, and to manifest those qualities which spring naturally from a heart tender and full of Christian charity such as affability, love and humility. These virtues serve wonderfully to gain the hearts of men, and to encourage them to embrace things that are more repugnant to nature.
St. Vincent
Image
All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.
Vernon Howard
Image
What is noble, lyrical, tender in the upper level shown is also with the servants, scoundrels, and scamps, as in a distorting mirror. This contrast seems to me a most appealing musical theme--to show love in its noble and crude forms, romanticism and crass realism mixed as in everyday life.
Stefan Zweig
Image
If you wish, I shall grow irreproachably tender: not a man, but a cloud in trousers!
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Image
God doth not govern the world only by his will as an absolute monarch, but by his wisdom and goodness as a tender father. It is not his greatest pleasure to show his sovereign power, or his inconceivable wisdom, but his immense goodness, to which he makes the other attributes subservient.
Stephen Charnock
Image
It is love love, the comfort of the human species, the preserver of the universe, the soul of all sentient beings, love, tender love.
Voltaire
Image
College athletics are so entrenched and enjoyed by so many people that they will never be discontinued or substantially changed. I know that. I just pity the people caught in that tender trap. And most of all, I pity those kids.
Susan Orlean
Image
When people express what is most important to them, it often comes out in cliches. That doesn't make them laughable it's something tender about them. As though in struggling to reach what's most personal about them they could only come up with what's most public.
