Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    “A tree the span of two arms starts from a tiny seedling.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    Lao-tzu.

    “Strange that so few ever come to the woods to see how the pine lives and grows and spires, lifting its evergreen arms to the light,—to see its perfect success; but most are content to behold it in the shape of many broad boards brought to market, and deem that its true success! But the pine is no more lumber than man is, and to be made into boards and houses is no more its true and highest use than the truest use of a man is to be cut down and made into manure.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “His bold head
    ‘Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared
    Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
    To the shore.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
