Clumsy

Famous quotes containing the word clumsy:

    lady through whose profound and fragile lips
    the sweet small clumsy feet of April came

    into the ragged meadow of my soul.
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)

    Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them. Their fingers, from excessive toil, are too clumsy and tremble too much for that.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A clumsy fool claims his knife is blunt.
    Chinese proverb.
