Tender

Famous quotes containing the word tender:

    This is my letter to the World
    That never wrote to Me—
    The simple News that Nature told—
    With tender Majesty.
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    Verily the kindness that gazes upon itself in a mirror turns to stone,
    And a good deed that calls itself by tender names becomes the parent to a curse.
    Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931)

    The tender skin does not shrink from bayonets, the timid woman is not scared by fagots; the rack is not frightful, nor the rope ignominious. The poor Puritan, Antony Parsons, at the stake, tied straw on his head when the fire approached him, and said, “This is God’s hat.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
