Famous quotes containing the word subdue:

Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Camillo. Prosperity’s the very bond of love,
Whose fresh complexion and whose heart together

I think affliction may subdue the cheek,
But not take in the mind.”

—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
