Mild Severe

Famous quotes containing the words mild and/or severe:

“Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land,
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
—Emma Lazarus (1849–1887)

“In so far as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
