Physician's
Prayer
by Thomas Simmons
Spirit,
spirit of gentleness,
blow
through the wilderness, calling and free,
Spirit,
spirit of restlessness,
stir me
from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.
~ Hymn attributed to
James K.
Manley
The secret of
language
is the secret of
sympathy
and its full charm is possible
only to the gentle.
~
John Ruskin
It is only
imperfection that complains
of what is
imperfect.
The more perfect
we are
the more gentle
and quiet we become
towards the
defects of others.
~
Joseph Addison
