Tenderness

Tenderness is a virtue

Oliver Goldsmith

What does one woman see in
 another than a man
 cannot see? Tenderness

Sylvia Plath

When the road gets dark - And you can no longer see - Just let my love throw a spark - And have a little faith in me

 John Hiatt

When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity

T.S. Eliot

When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become

Louis Pasteur
