Famous quotes containing the words extreme and/or points:

    “When raging love with extreme pain
    Most cruelly distrains my heart,
    When that my tears, as floods of rain,
    Bear witness of my woeful smart;
    When sighs have wasted so my breath
    That I lie at the point of death,”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

    “It’s my feeling that God lends you your children until they’re about eighteen years old. If you haven’t made your points with them by then, it’s too late.”
    —Betty Ford (b. 1918)
