Gentle Quotes

Quotes About Gentle 

  • I choose gentleness... Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself. — Max Lucado
  • A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles. --William Hazlitt
  • The very first thing which needs to be said about Christian ministers of all kinds is that they are "under" people as their servants rather than "over" them (as their leaders, let alone their lords). Jesus made this absolutely plain. he chief characteristic of Christian leaders, he insisted, is humility not authority, and gentleness not power. --John Stott
  • The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. --C. S. Lewis

Sensitive Quotes

Quotes About Sensitive

  • I'm a human being, I cry, I'm actually extremely sensitive, my feelings get hurt, I get scared, and I get nervous just like everyone else.
  • The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings. It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike. It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Helen Keller
  • Always try to be more sensitive about people's feelings. Because there are times when a tear means happiness and a smile means hurt.

Scriptures
1 Corinthians 8:7 (MSG) In strict logic, then, nothing happened to the meat when it was offered up to an idol. It’s just like any other meat. I know that, and you know that. But knowing isn’t everything. If it becomes everything, some people end up as know-it-alls who treat others as know-nothings. Real knowledge isn’t that insensitive. We need to be sensitive to the fact that we’re not all at the same level of understanding in this. Some of you have spent your entire lives eating “idol meat,” and are sure that there’s something bad in the meat that then becomes something bad inside of you. An imagination and conscience shaped under those conditions isn’t going to change overnight.
Proverbs 15:1 (MSG) A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.
Romans 15:1 We who are strong must be considerate of those who are sensitive about things like this. We must not just please ourselves.
Romans 14:2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another believer with a sensitive conscience will eat only vegetables.
Deuteronomy 28:54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children,
Deuteronomy 28:56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter

Criticism Quotes

Quotes About Criticism

  • If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim. --Margaret Thatcher
  • Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone... just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.  --NICK CARRAWAY
  • Criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home. --DALE CARNEGIE
  • I don't understand people that hate their lives enough to criticize the next person's... but not enough to fix their own.
  • People will always tell you what you did wrong, but will hesitate to compliment you for what you did right.
  • It is easy to criticize the actions of others, particularly in hindsight, or to speculate about what should have been done. But nothing ever has been accomplished by criticism or speculation alone. Accomplishment comes from those who are willing to put themselves on the line. The world moves forward because of those people who step up to do what is right and what is best, rather than just what is easiest. 
  • Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. Frank A. Clark
  • Devote to better living the energy that you could spend in criticism. Imelda Shanklin
  • Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. --Frank A. Clark
  • You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one. --John Wooden
  • The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism. --Norman Vincent Peale
  • Against criticism we can neither protect nor defend ourselves; we must act in despite of it, and gradually it resigns itself to this. --JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE
  • The way we respond to criticism pretty much depends on the way we respond to praise. If praise humbles us, then criticism will build us up. But if praise inflates us, then criticism will crush us; and both responses lead to our defeat. --Warren Wiersbe

Everything Rises and Falls on Leadership | MWM
https://youtu.be/DRlWykUvU8k
Lift Up Your Team = Everything—culture, success, productivity—rises and falls on leadership. Leaders either lift up their team or put a lid on their team. Are you lifting your team up? If you are unsatisfied with the results of your team, examine yourself so that you can begin to lift your team up to new heights. 








Lead
https://youtu.be/wkteEn7sNY0
Know, Go, And Show The Way = Everything rises and falls on leadership; therefore, if you lead well you will do well. John Maxwell discusses The Law of the Lid in his book The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. It states that how well you lead determines how well you succeed. When you learn to lead better, your life improves because you help other people. Leaders lift the load for others.



A Rewarding Journey = How well you lead, determines how well you succeed. You will notice when you embrace leadership values, your journey will become rewarding! Invest in you and watch how quickly people will begin to follow your lead.


https://youtu.be/0y7v2-uzfU8

Creating the Path - Although February 20 is declared "National Leadership Day," every single day is a great day to add value to those around you! Every year on this day we will recognize the impact that leaders make in people's lives as they seek to develop themselves and others.

Crockpot Process

You can learn to lead and become better as a leader at every step of your journey. Hear from John Maxwell more about the leadership process and how you can grow daily. We tend to overestimate the event and the moment and underestimate the process. It’s the process that’s key. Do you take a microwave or crockpot approach to your leadership development?

How to Infuse Leadership in Your Team
https://youtu.be/qpJ5536qdCY

John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, where he spent the summers of his youth working on nearby ranches — the setting for much of his literary work, including "Of Mice and Men" and "East of Eden." His experiences gave him insights into the lives of the downtrodden, who often served as the protagonists in his novels. These struggles, not to mention living through the Great Depression, gave Steinbeck a greater appreciation for the good times he enjoyed. Steinbeck followed up the quote above with, "You only truly, deeply appreciate and are grateful for something when you compare and contrast it to something worse."




Would You Rather Win or Be Kind? | MWM
Would You Rather Win Or Be Kind? = If you have the choice to be right—to win—or be kind, always choose to be kind. You don't always have to be right, you don't have to win everything, instead we can be kind and ask others their opinions in order to connect.


What it Really Means to be Kind | MWM
https://youtu.be/cYG-Dbkw-M4
Look For A Need = Take advantage of today to be kind. Kindness embodies being good, while also taking useful action. It is being nice and helpful, gentle and useful, compassionate and generous, being positive and doing good. Kindness doesn’t only mean being nice, it means a willingness to act. Look for a need and meet it if you can. Who can you be kind to today?





What Kindness is and is Not
https://youtu.be/cCJjaOQSX-o
Encourage Others! = One of the 7 words of love from Joel Manby’s book, Love Works, is Kind—an extremely important leadership principle. As leaders, we must have tough conversations with people and hold them accountable, but we can still lead with kindness. We do this by making someone’s day better. Every time you come into contact with someone, you can make their day better or make their day worse. Every day, try to provide encouragement in each of your interactions, be positive, and improve the day. (You can learn more about the 7 timeless principles for effective leaders in Love Works)

Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī, known simply as Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet and spiritual teacher. Through the use of metaphorical and allegorical language, Rumi’s writing reflected his interest in the divine and the interconnectedness among all living things. His poetry continues to be a relevant source of inspiration today, addressing life’s complexities and the quest for meaning and mindfulness. This quote draws a parallel between the nourishing impact of rainfall and the nurturing power of words, gently reminding us that both play a pivotal role in fostering growth. On the other hand, anger can obstruct that growth, so we must be careful with our words and how we deliver them. Just as a plant flourishes with the appropriate amount of rainfall, so too does a person thrive with encouragement and support.

Speak Into People's Lives = Speak into people's lives. Everyday people are looking for direction and wondering if they are making the right decision. One of the things that is very affirming to them is when someone comes alongside them and speaks into their life because they care for them and want the best for them. Speaking into one's life is giving someone words they need to hear, and it goes to a new level because it is all about them, their success, and who they can become.
