Tender

Famous quotes containing the word tender:

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.”

Gave all her hope and joy and pleasant ways;
She covered up her eyes lest they should gaze
On vanity, and chose the bitter truth.”

“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)
