Famous quotes containing the word hands:

    “Whate’er she meant by it, bury it with me,
    For since I am
    Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry,
    If into others’ hands these Reliques came;
    As ‘twas humility
    To afford to it all that a Soul can do,
    So, ‘tis some bravery,
    That since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “One of the duties which devolve upon women in the present interesting crisis, is to prepare themselves for more extensive usefulness, by making use of those religious and literary privileges and advantages that are within their reach, if they will only stretch out their hands and possess them.”
    —Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
