Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    Let arms yield to the toga, let the [victor’s] laurel yield to the [orator’s] tongue.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    We love the indomitable bellicose patriotism that sets you apart; we love the national pride that guides your muscularly courageous race; we love the potent individualism that doesn’t prevent you from opening your arms to individualists of every land, whether libertarians or anarchists.
    Tommaso Marinetti (1876–1944)

    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)
