Gentileza

José Datrino, known as prophet Gentileza (11 April 1917 – 29 May 1996) was a Brazilian urban personality, kind of a preacher, who became known from 1980 by making quirky inscriptions under an overpass in Rio de Janeiro, where he walked in a white robe and long beard. "Gentileza gera gentileza" ("Kindness begets kindness") is his most famous phrase.

==Early life== Born in Cafelândia, São Paulo, on Easter Wednesday, 11 April 1917, with eleven brothers, Datrino had a childhood of hard work in which he dealt directly with the land and with animals. To help the family, he pulled a wagon selling firewood in the neighborhood.
