Famous quotes containing the word limbs:
“[D]ispositions of the mind, like limbs of the body, acquire strength by exercise.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“A man can no more separate age and covetousness than ‘a can
part young limbs and lechery.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Personal size and mental sorrow have certainly no necessary proportions. A large bulky figure has a good a right to be in deep affliction, as the most graceful set of limbs in the world. But, fair or not fair, there are unbecoming conjunctions, which reason will pa tronize in vain,—which taste cannot tolerate,—which ridicule will seize.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
