A child`s hand in yours-what tenderness it arouses, what power it conjures. You are instantly the very touchstone of wisdom and strength.
Marjorie Holmes
Do not be afraid of showing your affection. Be warm and tender, thoughtful and affectionate. Men are more helped by sympathy, than by service; love is more than money, and a kind word will give more pleasure than a present.
John Lubbock
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who`ll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you`re in the wrong house, that`s what it means.
Henry Youngman
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Maya Angelou
What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry.
Salman Rushdie
