Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    “The old coat that I wear is Concord; it is my morning robe and study gown, my working dress and suit of ceremony, and my nightgown after all. Cleave to the simplest ever. Home,—home,—home. Cars sound like cares to me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In Arms not worse, in foresight much advanc’t,
    We may with more successful hope resolve
    To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
    Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
