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

    “Commit a crime and the world is made of glass. Commit a crime, and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground, such as reveals in the woods the track of every partridge and fox and squirrel and mole.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “We want some coat woven of elastic steel, stout as the first, and limber as the second. We want a ship in these billows we inhabit. An angular, dogmatic house would be rent to chips and splinters, in this storm of many elements. No, it must be tight, and fit to the form of man, to live at all; as a shell is the architecture of a house founded on the sea.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
    —U.S. Constitution, Second Amendment.
