Famous quotes containing the words armed and/or men:
“A womans beauty is a storm-tossed banner;
Under it wisdom stands, and I alone
Of all Arabias lovers I alone
Nor dazzled by the embroidery, nor lost
In the confusion of its night-dark folds,
Can hear the armed man speak.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Oh, men are jailers all; jailers of themselves; and in Opinions world ignorantly hold their noblest part a captive to their vilest.”
