Famous quotes containing the word limbs:

    “But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
    Had it liv’d long it would have been
    Lillies without, Roses within.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “[D]ispositions of the mind, like limbs of the body, acquire strength by exercise.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
    The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
    But then begins a journey in my head
    To work my mind, when body’s work’s expired:”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
