Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    “As a particularly dramatic gesture, he throws wide his arms and whacks the side of the barn with the heavy cane he uses to stab at contesting bidders. With more vehemence than grammatical elegance, he calls upon the great god Caveat Emptor to witness with what niggardly stinginess these flinty sons of Scotland make cautious offers for what is beyond any question the finest animal ever beheld.”
    —Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “... the reason I keep doing it is for the tremendous rush I get at the end of any great swim.... there is ... nothing greater than touching the shore after crossing some great body of water knowing that I’ve done it with my own two arms and legs.... I’m overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal.”
    —Diana Nyad (b. 1949)

    “Sleep takes off the costume of circumstance, arms us with terrible freedom, so that every will rushes to a deed.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
