Coax Quotations
Do not let a flattering woman coax and wheedle you and deceive you; she is after your barn.
Hesiod
I had to help to coax the performances and I really enjoyed that extra responsibility.
Christopher Eccleston
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
William Bennett
