Encouragement
Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.
Goethe.
More hearts pine away in secret anguish for the want of kindness from those who should be their comforters than for any other calamity in life.
Young.

Johnson.
Faint not; the miles to heaven are but few and short.
Rutherford.
