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)

    I can sit up half the night
    With some friend that has the wit
    Not to allow his looks to tell
    When I am unintelligible.
    Fifteen apparitions have I seen;
    The worst a coat upon a coat-hanger.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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)
