Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    Women have simple tastes. They can get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Time is like a fashionable host,
    That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand,
    And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
    Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
    And farewell goes out sighing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If Heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare,
    One cordial in this melancholy vale,
    ‘T is when a youthful, loving, modest pair
    In other’s arms breathe out the tender tale,
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)
