See the good in people and help them.

There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

Learning and wisdom are superfluities, the surface glitter merely, but it is the heart that is the seat of all power.

I am for people. I can't help it.

But we must not stop with the cultivation of a tough mind. The gospel also demands a tender heart. ... What is more tragic than to see a person who has risen to the disciplined heights of toughmindedness but has at the same time sunk to the passionless depths of hardheartedness?
