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

    Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He will watch you while you work, and always has a good word to say or a quip to snap at you to keep you cheered up, but when it comes to taking off his coat and lending a hand,... he is an Oriental incense-holder on the guest-room mantle.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    I take your arms boldly,
    each day a new excursion.
    Come, my sister,
    we are two virgins,
    our lives once more perfected
    and unused.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
