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)

“At sixty I look back on a life of deep disappointments, of withered hopes, of unlooked for suffering, of severe discipline.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
