Famous quotes containing the word prey:

    I have scarcely felt greater pain in my life than on learning yesterday from Bob’s letter, that you had failed to enter Harvard University. And yet there is very little in it, if you will allow no feeling of discouragement to seize, and prey upon you.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
