Arm

Famous quotes containing the word arm:

“I dreamed of an out-thrust arm of land
Where gulls blew over a wave
That fell along miles of sand....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“A state that denies its citizens their basic rights becomes a danger to its neighbors as well: internal arbitrary rule will be reflected in arbitrary external relations. The suppression of public opinion, the abolition of public competition for power and its public exercise opens the way for the state power to arm itself in any way it sees fit.... A state that does not hesitate to lie to its own people will not hesitate to lie to other states.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)

“If your arm is broken, hide it in your sleeve.”
—Chinese proverb.
