Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    An aged man is but a paltry thing,
    A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
    Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
    For every tatter in its mortal dress.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Women have simple tastes. They can get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
