Tender

Famous quotes containing the word tender:

“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fool’s in tears,
When she believes I’ll leave her.

Would I were free from this restraint,
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she would make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.”
—Peter Ustinov (b. 1921)

“Behold, a silly, tender babe
In freezing winter night,
In homely manger trembling lies:
Alas, a piteous sight.”
—Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
