Famous quotes containing the words coat, arms and/or motto:

    “When every Sunday afternoon
    On the Green Lands I walk
    And wear a coat in fashion,
    Memories of the talk
    Of hen wives and of queer old men
    Brace me and make me strong....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    as heavy as bread dough.
    Your milky wings are as still as plastic.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “My motto is: “Lord I disbelieve—help thou my unbelief.””
