Famous quotes containing the words coat and/or arms:

    “I expect a time when, or rather an integrity by which, a man will get his coat as honestly and as perfectly fitting as a tree its bark. Now our garments are typical of our conformity to the ways of the world, i.e., of the devil, and to some extent react on us and poison us, like that shirt which Hercules put on.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Mother’s arms are made of tenderness,
    And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
