Man, I was tame compared to what they do now. Are you kidding? I didn't do anything but just jiggle.

You kin tame a bear. You kin tame a wild-cat and you kin tame a panther. ... You kin tame arything, son, excusin' the human tongue.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

Coming to Atlanta was like being in a country club. It was really tame in the locker room in WCW compared to New York.

Scott Hall

The man for whom the law exists - the man of forms, the conservative - is a tame man.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you want to be a good saddler, saddle the worst horse; for if you can tame one, you can tame all.

Socrates

The burdens of childhood are as hard to bear as the crosses that weigh us down later in life, while the happinesses of childhood are tame compared with those of our maturer years.

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

When I say "The good man gave his good dog a good meal," I use "good" analogically, for there is at the same time a similarity and a difference between a good man, a good dog, and a good meal. All three are desirable, but a good man is wise and moral, a good dog is tame and affectionate, and a good meal is tasty and nourishing. But a good man is not tasty and nourishing, except to a cannibal; a good dog is not wise and moral, except in cartoons, and a good meal is not tame and affectionate, unless it's alive as you eat it.

Peter Kreeft

The man who pets a lion may tame it, but the man who coddles the body makes it ravenous.

John Climacus

Self-negation is noble, self-culture beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared with self-abuse.

Pope Julius II

The service a man renders his friend is trivial and selfish, compared with the service he knows his friend stood in readiness to yield him, alike before he had begun to serve his friend, and now also. Compared with that good-will I bear my friend, the benefit it is in my power to render him seems small.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some kinds of animals burrow in the ground; others do not. Some animals are nocturnal, as the owl and the bat; others use the hours of daylight. There are tame animals and wild animals. Man and the mule are always tame; the leopard and the wolf are invariably wild, and others, as the elephant, are easily tamed.

Aristotle

Nature also forges man, now a gold man, now a silver man, now a fig man, now a bean man.

Paracelsus

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 ecstasies cheap and trivial.

Mark Twain

Music might tame and civilize wild beasts, but 'tis evident it never yet could tame and civilize musicians.

John Gay

I could go on to speak of sanity as compared with insanity, decency as compared with vandalism, friendship as compared with rabies.

Kurt Vonnegut

I would say, compared with the 19th century, compared with most previous history, this is as good or better a society than any which man has ever made. But that doesn't mean it is such a good one.

Erich Fromm
