Famous quotes containing the word tame:

    A speckled cat and a tame hare
    Eat at my hearthstone
    And sleep there;
    And both look up to me alone
    For learning and defence
    As I look up to Providence.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    To do something, say something, see something, before anybody else—these are things that confer a pleasure compared with which other pleasures are tame and commonplace, other ecstacies cheap and trivial.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    We must accept or refuse one another as we are. I could tame a hyena more easily than my Friend. He is a material which no tool of mine will work.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
