Mild Severe

Famous quotes containing the words mild and/or severe:

    To measure life learn thou betimes, and know
    Toward solid good what leads the nearest way;
    For other things mild Heaven a time ordains,

    And disapproves that care, though wise in show,
    That with superfluous burden loads the day,
    And, when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    One should not be too severe on English novels; they are the only relaxation of the intellectually unemployed.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
